Interesting Axe-Type
 
12 Attachment(s)
Hello everybody.

I´d like to present an interesting type of axe to you which seems to be a bit neglected in literature, at least from what I have found.

Depending on source these are Polish, Balkan, Ottoman or Russian.

Lokking at the painting and the excerpt from that Panoplium I´m not sure whether these depict the same style of axe, but maybe it´s a hint.

I welcome any comment and observation.

Cool axe, there are Luristan bronze axes like that. I'm guessing the tilt is to aid in penetration.
