ANCIENT CANAANITE BRONZE AXE HEAD DUCKBILL FORM
A very impressively well preserved, Ancient Near East, the Levant, Canaan, Middle Bronze Age, circa 16th Century BC, cast bronze axe head formed via the lost wax process, with a distinct crescent shaped duckbill form. The axe head presents a curved edge, an openwork socketing shaft, and a pair of large ovoid gaps in the body that increased the aerodynamic efficiency. This is the style of axe head from Hazor, which is described in the Book of Joshua as the head of the Canaanite city-states, and the site of one of Joshua's most important victories in the Israelites' conquest of the Promised Land..
