Description
bronze, base
In Bronze Age Indonesia multiple forms of axes are found, usually in various variations of standard-shaped axes. This elegant tool or weapon differs from the known examples by having two diverging pointed ends.
Two short-snouted animal heads seem to be tied with a rope around the neck
of the axe. We do not know of a related example.
