Mammen Axe
| The axe, inherited from the Frank's wars with the Romans, remained
an ever-present Viking weapon. It also demonstrated the Scandinavian
genius for evolving specialized weaponry. The smaller axes are
sized to be carried thrust through a belt, to serve as a backup
weapon and being one-handed, they were used in combination with
a shield. The Mammen Axe, one of the best-known and best-decorated
examples of the small Viking throwing axe, is a perfect example
of the Viking's blend of art and war. Excavated from a famous 10th
century barrow near Mammen, Denmark, the original is decorated
with silver-inlaid engraving in the typical Celtic manner. Our
recreation of this beautiful piece is a tribute to the creative
as well as the martial side of this dynamic, influential culture. |
