Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Reprinted From Essays and Studies Presented to William Ridgeway: On His Sixtieth Birthday, 6 August 1913
About ten years ago one of the smaller antiquity-shops in Athens bought a hoard of five bronze Single axes, found by a peasant in the Patras district. Four were plain straight-sided implements with large elliptical haft hole, not unlike a modern woodman's axe, but narrower. The fifth had noticeable features, a rough knob on one Side of the butt above the haft-hole and a character in relief on each shoulder, a on one side, a two-pronged fork on the other. This, the best of the bunch, was bought by Mrs W. K. Foster, who gave it to the Cambridge Archaeological Museum. Of the four, one is in a private collection in England; the others lay for a long time in the Shop and may now be anywhere.
