Item Description

Castle Gates

proudly presents this rare and unique:

Ancient Bronze Age Ban Kao Battle Axe Circa 9th Century BC!


 

This is an extremely rare piece; excavated from Vietnam during land mine sweeps. This is a verified piece identical to those found in some of the world's most famous museums.

This item comes with a certificate of origin and authenticity. These were thought to be ceremonial in use but due to the high cost of bronze, one must believe it was also used for other means, as well.


This antiquity has been evaluated at $900

Research
&
Sources
Castle Gates will not tolerate forgeries or replicas passed off as authentic. We are hobby collectors whose interests are in archaeological sites, individual explorers, shipwrecks, purchasing collections from individuals, estates, inheritances, local and worldwide auction houses, our own excavation& metal detecting excursions, museum discontinuance, governmental sales and metal detecting individuals/clubs throughout the world. We are always open to new avenues of acquiring items of archaeological interest (if any of you would be interested) and sharing with others. We research each of our antiquities for authenticity, provenance, material & likelihood of finding a particular item given the conditions of discovery. If you are unsure if an item is authentic, we would be happy to assist best we can (free of charge). Inevitably an item can even slip through the hands of world renowned auction houses; for this reason we offer a money back guarantee with no ill feelings. We remain humble in our years of formal degrees and informal education: “The more we learn, the less we know.” We are honest sellers doing our best to share our enthusiasm and love for antiquities (and other interesting items) with a spirit of honesty, respect, honour and dignity. For references; Read from our partial reference list below, or check with  Bonham’s,  Sotheby’s, Doyle’s New York and Christie’s worldwide auction houses; they have been very kind to us.
