The battle axe we are selling is possibly copied from a "royal" viking axe.
It is a ceremonial axe with raised relief decoration of a celtic knot pattern.
Such weapons were used by the vikings when they fought their battles from Scandinavia to Britain and the European continent until they finally settled in Northern France.
The axe has a curved wooden shaft, overall 81 cms (32 inches) long.
The axe head is of cast metal, 31 cms x 24 cms. (12 x 10 inch).
Total weight : 2.2 kgs. (approx. 5 lbs.)
Please note: It is not for "battle" and cannot be sharpened.
