You are bidding on a antique 19th century decorative or processional axe. Very well made and quite large. The blade is fashioned in Indo Persian Tabarzin style, it is large 7.5 inches long with a 5 inches wide blade probably made from bronze or copper showing patina. Typical engraved or chiseled decoration on Persian style. The shaft is made from wood and has a carved section for grip also a steel collar on the top section keeping the blade in place. The axe is 38 inches long. Very impressive piece. Probably French manufacture.
