Battle Axe

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Battle Axe by Jens Peters features a silver metal head with a pointed top and curved blade; the head has a short neck, then flares out to form the curved blade. The axe head exhibits a textured surface. The handle is made of wood with a dark brown color. The handle is wrapped with black and orange cord or tape in a spiral pattern near the top. A small metal band adorns the bottom of the handle. The background is gray with a vignette effect.
