Unusual Damascened Inlay Ax
Hi,
I just got this piece from an older collection of different edged weapons and wonder about the origin. Thank you for your help ! :-) |

Depending on size - possibly a Musandam Jerz?

Jerz are quite small. See mine below for scale. Note the Jerz are minipoll-axes! Yours doesn't have a poll opposite the blade.
If it's a full-sized axe, could be afghani, like the tabarzin axe head below my jerz. Popular with returning soldiers from that war zone. Shame about the crack in the socket, tho that could just be an artefact of constructing a wrap around socket, popular in Indo-Persian axes. Last edited by kronckew; 27th November 2020 at 04:32 PM. |
