Axehead (side)
Add to album

This bronze axehead was found at Home Farm at Keith Hall in Aberdeenshire. It dates from around 1600 to 1400 BC.

This picture shows the axehead from the side. It was decorated with a herring bone pattern.

A large number of bronze axeheads dating to the Bronze Age have been found. Some were clearly everyday objects, used to chop trees and other woodwork. Other were prestige objects, and must have been symbols of power.
