    Axes  were classic weapons of the Inca Empire centered in Cuzco, Peru from the 13th through 15th century. Artisans in the Mesoamerican Incan civilization were highly skilled in metalwork and made weapons, tools and adornments with bronze/copper alloys. This t-shaped copper bronze alloy axe was secured to a wooden handle making it an effective chopping and digging tool as well as a fine weapon. It has a nice patina and is very worn on one side attesting to its age and use with restorations or repairs.
