found a luristan bronze axe head of the type i've been looking for yesterday at auction. sadly, it went for about six times my max bid. it's the simpler one below.
today, i stumbled on one again, a more elaborate version, with a low minimum bid same as yesterdays, i bid a tenner over the minimum online and won it for £4 over, the only other bidder only bid £2 over the minimum. anyhow, i'm guessing these are likely to be fairly recent copies, tho the decorative lines on the one i won are quite crisp rather than blurred as they'd be if cast from a mould of a real one instead of the original moulds. it was listed as 18.5 X 9 CM. i'll add some more dimensions/ weight and maybe some better pics when it arrives. anyhow, i respect your opinions. what do you think? real/copy? clues as to your conclusions? all appreciated. thanks in advance for any comments. i've also re-read our old thread here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...light=luristan ![]() Last edited by kronckew; 27th October 2017 at 08:42 PM. |
