Battle Ax of Baki

This battle axe was found inside the coffin of a man named Baki, whose formal name was Bak-Amun. He was buried in the family tomb of Noferkhawt, who was probably his father or his father-in-law. The handle has been partially restored with modern wood. The rawhide lashing is modern, based on ancient examples.

Bronze or copper alloy, wood (with modern restoration), modern rawhide. New Kingdom, 18th Dynasty, reign of Thutmose I - early sole Thutmose III, ca. 1500-1450 BC. 

From Tomb of Neferkhawet, El-Assasif, West Thebes. Now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. 35.3.56
