steel and iron weaponry of the american natives.........

[Tim Simmons]

This is also from the Americas museum in Madrid. I think this is most interesting as it has the same method of attachment to a halft as the axe I post earlier from Wisconsin except this one is bronze. It is 11cm long and reminds me of axes from South Africa. If one is to work on that well trodden path of like forms means it came from somewhere else. Then Zulu sailors went the long way round, or round the cape of good hope and then cape horn and settled in the Andes . I prefer to think that some objects are universal and the design comes to a mature form that does not alter where ever one comes from.
