- CANAANITE LEADED BRONZE / COPPER DUCKBILL
CANAANITE LEADED BRONZE / COPPER DUCKBILL AXE HEADS (2)...Ancient Near East, the Levant, Canaan, Middle Bronze Age, ca. 1950 to 1539 BCE. A fine pair of cast leaded-bronze and copper axe heads with a characteristic 'duckbill' shape and openwork hafting slots behind a stocky blade. The two ovoid perforations increase the aerodynamic efficiency of these axes when swung, and add a zoomorphic appearance of nostrils, hence the type's name. The socket, thick spine, and ribbed center also create a hefty, lethal weight that one does not want to be on the receiving end of! These weapons resemble a type of axe head from Hazor, which is described in the Book of Joshua as the head of the Canaanite city-states, and the site of one of Joshua's most important victories in the Israelites' conquest of the Promised Land. Archaeological expeditions from 1955 to 1958 CE revealed Middle and Late Bronze age temples, palaces, and fortifications, as well as a range of artifacts including cuneiform tablets, ivory objects, a basalt statue of a god, and metal weaponry like these examples. Size of largest: 3.75" L x 2.25" W (9.5 cm x 5.7 cm)

- INDUS VALLEY MEHRGARH POTTERY FERTILITY
INDUS VALLEY MEHRGARH POTTERY FERTILITY IDOL, TL TESTED...**First Time At Auction**
Ancient Central Asia, Indus Valley, Mehrgarh culture, ca. 3500 to 2800 BCE. A hand-built pottery female fertility idol of a characteristically abstract form with slender limbs, a corseted waistline beneath globular breasts, and a pectoral decorated with applied orange pigment. The elongated head features a pair of large, impressed eyes, a petite nose above full lips, and a tall forehead framed with a dark coiffure and a lighter headwrap. The cream-hued surfaces of the figure imbue it with an uncomplicated and attractive presentation. Size: 1.8" W x 4.9" H (4.6 cm x 12.4 cm); 5.4" H (13.7 cm) on included custom stand.
Figurines of women are perhaps the most plentiful of the figurines in the Indus Valley. The reason for this is unknown, but some researchers have proposed that women were particularly revered in that society, perhaps relating to their roles as mothers. Studies of burial sites at Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa have shown that a man was often buried with his wife's family. The female figurines are easily distinguished by a curving, pear-shaped body with large protruding breasts. The effect of these female figurines is two-fold: it emphasizes the beauty, and phallic/sexual nature of the female; but at the same time, cherishes the nurturing, motherly nature of the female. The figurines of the women tend to also be heavily ornamented.
This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full printed and bound report is available for $50 to the buyer. Please contact us to request.
