**Originally Listed At $200**

Northern Europe, Scandinavia, Viking or Norse culture, ca. 8th to 11th century CE. A forged-iron hoe blade with a thick socketing shaft and a horizontal blade head efficient at moving large swaths of earth. The broad neck shows how this tool could withstand countless uses without sustaining much if any damage and would have been an incredibly important tool to early Scandinavian peoples.

Provenance: ex-estate of Eldert Bontekoe, Pegasi Numismatics, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA, acquired before 2000

All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.

A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids.
