Hafted Axe from Ancient China
This dragon axe is actually a Hafted axe with dragons and is categorized as an Ancient Chinese Bronze and Jade Sculpture created sometime between 1200 BCE and 1100 BCE, making it approximately 3,000 years old. It’s currently on display at the Freer Gallery of Art in the United States. The interesting thing about this axe is that the design is similar to Meso-American, which is odd given that both landmasses are nowhere near each other, and neither side knew the other existed so long ago, so the odds of being influenced by one another’s art would have been impossible.
