**Set of Three Ornamental Axes**A collection of three decorative axes, designed in styles inspired by historical or ceremonial weaponry. The set includes the following:1. **Two Brass Axes (Left and Right):** - Crafted from polished brass or a similar golden-hued alloy. - Both feature crescent-shaped blades and cylindrical handles that taper slightly towards spherical pommels. - Each is topped with a pointed decorative finial, mirroring a stylised spearhead. - Likely designed as a matched pair, measuring approximately 30–50 cm in length based on estimation.2. **Central Ornate Axe:** - Constructed with a dark-stained wooden handle and a patinated metallic head, potentially iron or steel. - The head is adorned with intricate Gothic-inspired reliefs, including possible dragon or serpent motifs, representing mythological or fantasy themes. - The wooden shaft is lathe-turned with visible grooves, adding functional grip or decorative texture. Its design aligns with a ceremonial or display object.### Notes:- This set appears to be a mid-20th to early 21st-century production, reflecting historical influences without being functional weapons. The central piece's ornate detailing and darker tones differentiate it from the paired brass axes, adding visual contrast to the collection.- Likely intended for ceremonial, decorative, or collector's purposes.
