Description:
This is an original ancient Mid-Waring Period Chinese Bronze ge /Dagger Axe with a date of 5th-4th Century BC. The blade was designed as one component of a type of halberd known as a ji, a composite weapon made from a double mounting of the ge with a mao (spear) set above it on a single pole. This example is in excellent condition with minimal corrosion to the blade, nice patina, along with further spots of bright green oxidation scattered about. The tang has slots with the top being horizontal, for lashing to a pole. Approximate size 6 7/8" wide 4 5/8" tall with a blade of 4 1/4" long. This form of Dagger Axe can be seen in "Ancient Chinese Weapons" Cheng Dong and Zhong Shao-Yi, 1990 Beijing. Pg 70.
