Domestic Axe-Head

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Domestic Axe-Head by an unknown artist depicts a bronze axe-head. The axe-head is oriented horizontally. The top edge of the axe-head is straight and roughly horizontal. The bottom edge curves inward, forming a semi-circular indentation. A cylindrical protrusion extends downward from the right side. A small hole is visible on the right side. The surface of the axe-head is weathered and covered in a green patina. The background transitions from black at the top to gray at the bottom.
