Description

Socketed bronze axe, of Armorican Plurien type, covered with a smooth green patina. This piece still has its loophole attachement and is in perfect (no hole or broken part). Our example is left in its cast version, without having sharpened the cutting edge, since these axes seems to have been widely used in a monetary context.
