Battle-axe

  • Dated: circa 1800
  • Culture: India
  • Medium: iron and gold damascening
  • Measurements: H: 55; L: 13.1 cm

The short, elegant battle-axe (tabar-i-zin) comes from the Persian region, where it was already part of a horseman’s equipment in the early Islamic period. Not all battle-axes were velvet-clad parade weapons like this one, however as a passage from Firdawsi Shah-nama (Book of Kings) shows, a battle-ax was above all a serious weapon.
