Ca. 900-1100 AD.An iron axe head with an asymmetrical and curved cutting edge that extends below the width of the butt. The asymmetry of the cutting edge adds a distinctive element to the axe head, enhancing its versatility and functionality. This design feature allows for a varied range of cutting techniques and provides the wielder with increased control over the axe's trajectory and impact. The curvature of the cutting edge ensures optimal force distribution during strikes, enabling efficient and powerful chopping motions. The blade tapers towards a heavy butt, which features an opening for the attachment of a pole or handle. This construction reinforces the overall durability and stability of the axe, facilitating a secure connection between the axe head and the handle. Iron axes held significant functional roles within Viking society, serving as indispensable tools for both everyday tasks and warfare. In domestic settings, these axes were utilized for woodcutting, crafting, and agricultural activities. Their robust construction and efficient cutting edges made them ideal for felling trees, shaping timber, and clearing land. Furthermore, in the context of warfare, Viking iron axes proved formidable weapons, capable of delivering devastating blows, penetrating armor, and incapacitating adversaries. Size: L:105mm / W:195mm ; 540g Provenance: Private Oxfordshire collection; Formerly acquired on the European art market from pre-2000 collections.

Ca. 900-1100 AD.An iron axe head with a splendid, bearded design and a slightly curved cutting edge. The bearded-type axe head, characterized by its elongated lower section, enhances the functionality and versatility of the axe, allowing for efficient chopping, cutting, and piercing motions. The heavy butt features an opening for the attachment of a pole or handle. Intriguingly, one face of the blade exhibits decorative elements, consisting of three etched stars and three vertical lines on the butt. These markings suggest the potential use of inlays, which would have added both aesthetic appeal and symbolic significance to the axe. These decorative embellishments reflect the Vikings' attention to detail and their penchant for incorporating artistic elements into utilitarian objects. Size: L:140mm / W:140mm ; 850g Provenance: Private Oxfordshire collection; Formerly acquired on the European art market from pre-2000 collections.
