content: Information from Leonid Lantsman, 2014: 19th C. Ottoman or Mamluke revival axe. A large example likely cast as it is hollow. This example was made to resemble a 15th-early 16th C. Ottoman or Mamluke war axe of the type currently seen in the Topkapi Sarayi Museum in Istanbul. Numerous holes pierced through the axe show that at one point it was mounted on a wall.
