Axe pendant in the shape of a Francisca throwing axe.
This miniature medieval axe was made true to detail after the historical model of a Franconian throwing axe, a so-called Francisca from the early Middle Ages.
Axe pendants were widespread among the Rus in the east during the time of the Vikings. However, miniature axes in the form of axe amulets have also been found in the Baltic and Scandinavian countries.
The Merovingian miniature axe pendant measures 4 x 2 cm.
The Francisca amulet is made of bronze and is also available in genuine silver-plated.
A black leather cap in 1 m length for the Merovingian miniature axe is enclosed.
The Francisca was of great importance to the Germanic tribes as a throwing axe and was very common among the Alemanni, Franks, Merovingians and other Germanic tribes.
It was customary to hurl the Francisca into the enemy ranks at the opening of the battle in order to cause confusion and unrest there before the actual fight began. However, the Francisca was also used in close combat and was also used as a tool in everyday life.
