Descripción : Ancient Egypt, Middle Kingdom, 11th to 13th Dynasty, ca. 2130 to 1650 BCE. A beautiful and rare cast-copper axe head of a distinct parabolic shape covered in thick layers of green and brown patina. The semicircular instrument features a sharpened blade edge that extends from the midsection down both tapered wings and has a thick handle emanating from the verso of the blade center. A petite perforation at the handle's end enabled the axe head to be fastened to the top of a wooden handle for use as either a utilitarian chopping tool or, in times of desperation, a battle-ready weapon capable of inflicting copious amounts of damage. Size: 5.6 L x 10.25 W (14.2 cm x 26 cm) Cf. Petrie, W. M. Flinders, Tools and weapons illustrated by the Egyptian collection in University College, London, 1917, chapter A: Plain Axe Blade.
