Beilkopf
1. Jhdt v.Chr. | Christian Schicklgruber
In addition to their function as a weapon, bronze hatchets were also regarded as a status symbol for rulers. The design shows figures standing in a boat above geometric shapes. These are probably shamans who guide the souls of the deceased to the realm of the dead.
