Judging by both its general Late Gothic formal criteria and the roped frieze decoration, I would date this axe head between ca. 1500 and the mid-16th century.

Hi Evgeny,
i might be a russian item, because it was found there also. Here is a photo out o the book: "russian arm and armour" This axe is called a parade hatchet from 17 century. Hope this helps a bit. Dirk |

Hi Dirk,
This is a ceremonial axe, which explains for its 17th c. assignation. The basic Late-Gothic stylistic criteria are as I stated. Best, Michael |

A Polish origin is imaginable, Evgeny,
Eastern European in any case. Best, Michael |
