The remarkable advances in metalwork in the Keros-Syros culture can be seen from the existence of such robust tools. The copper probably came from Kythnos, an important source of ore in the Early Bronze Age, but these objects are no longer known as the 'Kythnos Hoard'. The entire hoard was perhaps either hidden for retrieval or possibly dedicated in a shrine or sanctuary. The large flat axe in this group were perhaps used for felling trees and stripping branches, the heavy duty shaft-hole axes for splitting tree-trunks into planks and the chisels for finer wood.     This object is part of "Scan The World". Scan the World is a non-profit initiative introduced by MyMiniFactory, through which we are creating a digital archive of fully 3D printable sculptures, artworks and landmarks from across the globe for the public to access for free.
