- W2322805211 abstract "Among the burnt fill in Room 4 of the ‘House of the Oil Merchant’ at Mycenae excavated in 1952 was found one half of a stone mould for casting a winged axe, a type of implement (or weapon) otherwise unknown in Late Helladic or other contemporary Aegean contexts. The mould is made of a fine-grained grey stone. Its shape will be clear from the illustrations. The cut surface is flat, and measures 0·167 × 0·067 m.; the underside is convex: at the centre the stone is 0·038 m. thick, but at the ends only about 0·02 m. In one corner of the flat face is a small round hole, the socket for a peg or knob which would have projected from the other half of the mould (now lost) to ensure the two fitted correctly. There was probably a similar hole at the diagonally opposite corner, which has been broken away. This break fortunately does not prevent us restoring with certainty the shape of the casting that would be produced from the complete mould. This is shown below. Medial winged axes are common in the upper Danube basin and northern Italy, but rarely found farther south, and not at all in the Aegean. It is known from surviving hafts that they were usually mounted (on a knee-haft) as axes ( i.e. with the cutting edge in the same plane as the handle), but they could equally well be mounted as adzes. The four ‘wings’ would be hammered round to grip the ends of the haft on either side; and the ledge or ridge (‘stop-ridge’) across the blade immediately below the wings served to prevent the butt end from driving upwards and splitting the haft." @default.
