European British Bronze Age Looped Socketed Axe - 800 BC
A rare and striking early Iron Age bronze socketed axe of sompting type. Dating to between 800- 600 BC. A weapon of powerful elegance. This axe is of a form prevalent across the English Midlands during the early Iron Age; with a sub-rectangular sectioned body, subtly flaring blade and prominent, collared edge around the socket. The body is adorned with a series of cast moulded triangular symbols, far less common than the more prevalent ribbed design, usually found on axes of this type. A wooden handle would originally have been inserted into the socketed end, held in place by a cord threaded through the metal loop. Axes such as this would have been used to clear the forests of Bronze Age Europe for human habitation. They are often found in hoards throughout Britain. Some are believed to have been buried for safekeeping, whilst others are ... morebelieved to have served a votive function. Even though the majority of early Iron Age socketed axes have been discovered in metalwork hoards, axes of the sompting type are often found singly. Many of them have been found in the rivers and boglands of the English Midlands, they were likely deposited in these contexts because of connections with a watery underworld. Who exactly the gods of ancient European people were at this time is not known, but attention has been drawn to a series of carved wooden figures from wetland contexts that may be representations of divine beings.

Ancient European Prehistoric Bronze Age Looped Winged Axe - 1400 BC
A rare and striking Bronze Age bronze looped and winged axe with an interesting provenance. Dating to around 1400 BC. A weapon of powerful elegance. This axe is of a form prevalent across Europe during the Bronze Age; of classic form, with curved blade edge and large wing like flanges. A wooden handle would originally have been inserted into the flanges, held in place by a cord threaded through the metal loop. Axes such as this would have been used to clear the forests of Bronze Age Europe for human habitation. They are often found in hoards throughout Europe. Some are believed to have been buried for safekeeping, whilst others are believed to have served a votive function. Many of them have been found in rivers and boglands, they were likely deposited in these contexts because of connections with a watery underworld. Who exactly the gods ... moreof ancient European people were at this time is not known, but attention has been drawn to a series of carved wooden figures from wetland contexts that may be representations of divine beings.
