Gavin,

Here is a paper on Caucasian Axes. Other pics, etc. available by Googling on that topic. I have a reproduction from the area of same style of one of the Christie's sales. Not as elaborate, but it has remains of an iron inlayed snake and lightly engraved fish and other representations of their symbols of the Underworld.

Probably very much more general purpose tools than weapons, I found this brief but informative page on the development of bronze axes in Britain - Ripple-Hoard - when researching after I was fortunate to acquire a palstave that showed up in a mixed antiquities lot purchased in a local estate sale by a friend.
