Ancient Near East, the Levant, Canaanite, Early Bronze Age, ca. 2650 to 2350 BCE. A bronze, crescent-shaped axe with a bulbous detail projecting from both sides at its center and a curved tang for attachment to a pole. This is known as an epsilon axe for its resemblance to the Greek letter. This style was widely used throughout the Near East and Egypt, then spread into eastern Europe, Russia, and the Nordic countries. The Bronze Age was a time throughout the Near East and Egypt that saw increased fortifications and the rise of palace-towns that controlled nearby villages and vied for power. An axe like this may have been used in warfare, but it would have been ultimately deposited as part of a warrior burial. Elite males of all ages were buried, often in caves together with their extended family, and with axes like this one at their heads. Size: 2.9" W x 9.95" H (7.4 cm x 25.3 cm); 12.8" H (32.5 cm) on included custom stand.
Provenance: private Zaveloff collection, Lakewood, New Jersey, USA, acquired in Israel between 1980 and 2010
