| Description |
For the lover of antiquities, the term bronze
carries a number of meanings. In the 19th
century a Danish museum employee decided to
organize the museum's collection by dividing the
artifacts into time periods based on man's
changing tool types. Thus, the Stone Age, Bronze
Age and Iron Age have come to represent three
distinct time periods in man's technological and
cultural history. When man discovered that by
alloying tin with copper he could create a
material substance much stronger than copper,
the resulting bronze technology changed many
aspects of his culture. One monumental change
was in the weaponry, fine examples represented
here in this splendid dagger, powerful axe head
and arrowheads. Expert craftsmanship combine
with an aesthetic eye to create weapons that are
lifted into the realm of art. Their dynamic power
and spirited essence can be seen and felt
through their exquisite design and tactile
surfaces. These sculptural weapons touch a
chord deeply buried but never forgotten,
common to all mankind.
