WESTERN ASIATIC BRONZE LABRYS
Ca. 1200 - 700 BC A bronze double-headed axe characterised by its distinctive labrys shape, which features two parallel blades that are joined at the centre. The centre of the axe has a hole through which a handle can be inserted. The term "labrys" derives from the Greek word for double-bladed axe, and the labrys type was used by many cultures in the region, including the Hittites, Mycenaeans, and Minoans. The labrys-type of bronze axe was primarily used for cutting and chopping, and its two-bladed design allowed for more efficient use than a single-bladed axe. Size: L:205mm / W:55mm ; 740g Provenance: From the collection of a European gentleman living in the UK, acquired on the EU Art Market around 2000. This item has been cleared against the Art Loss Register database and comes with a confirmation letter.
