Heel axe; Anatolia, Bronze Age, first half of the second millennium. Copper. Provenance: Family bequest of Ramon Martí Alsina and Ricard Martí Aguiló. Archaeological collection assembled beginning in the 1950s by successive generations of the family through purchases at European galleries and auction houses. This piece belonged to the G. Elias Collection. There is an example of this piece in the MET Museum’s collection. Inventory No.: 63.147.1 Lugged-type copper axe. The piece features a convex cutting edge and a rectangular butt flanked by two shoulders. Anatolia, also known as Asia Minor, is a peninsula that currently comprises the Asian part of Turkey. During the Bronze Age, the New Hittite Empire was established, reaching its peak in the 14th century B.C. The empire encompassed much of Anatolia, northwestern Syria, and Upper Mesopotamia. After 1180 BCE, the empire disintegrated into several independent Neo-Hittite states.
