Thanks gentlemen! Jeroen, this ax is very interesting because of the combination of the two techniques of mounting axes in the Bronze Age. Earliest flat ax and much later stocketed ax. In Western Europe from that period, I know only this copy. A little more connections of this type, two technologies, are located in Eastern Europe and in the Carpathian zone(Otomanii-Fuzesabony), from which this idea is supposed to come. Undoubtedly, this copy as well as those from the Carpathians are, to a greater or lesser extent, symbols of power or cult objects.

Thanks Alan. ... all and family knives Bronze ceremonial ax from Krottenthal, Germany, 1300 - 1100 B.C. The two magnificent weapons belong to the earliest discoveries kept at the Archäologische Staatssammlung (Archaeological State Collection). In c.1784, a farmer in Krottenthal in Lower Bavaria dug up and sold some weapons. Quite obviously, the weapons belonged to a depot find, but most of the pieces probably went to the furnace. At least it was possible to save two pieces. The axe was brought to the Bayerische Akademie

Thank you Gentlemen! .... aaaaa ... sculpture was inspired by a find from the Carpathian Arch from the Draguseni in Romania, dating back to the eneolytic culture of Cucuteni - Trypole, around 4000 BC. My sculpture is 1.50 m high and comes from the Carpathian beech forest.

... she has not been to the hairdresser for a long time!

Several iron (but also flint, copper and bronze) tools, mainly axes, chisels from the first centuries of our era, based on bog finds from northern Europe.

Hi,thanks! Solar cults prevailed throughout Europe at that time. The ax was most likely closely related to them. All shapes and sizes are found all over Europe. It is believed that the ax was of great importance in the cult ceremonies, and the origin of these practices most likely comes from somewhere in the Carpathian zone.

For a long time I have been collecting materials on the construction of these .... interesting things from the early era of bronze from Europe. In English-language literature they are called halberds, in German-language Stabdolch-staffdagger, in Polish-language scepter dagger, and disputes about their purpose continue to this day. It is known for sure that they were symbols of power, it is assumed, after the surviving Irish specimens, that they could also be used in combat .......
