Bronze knife

Bronze knives were the ultimate multi-purpose tools during the Bronze Age. They were used in farming, warfare, and even served as decorative pieces. Mongolia's national and provincial museums house over 130 bronze knives that were crafted during this period, which is a testament to their importance and significance. Bronze Age knives are classified based on their unique features, and they offer a glimpse into the ingenuity and creativity of the people who made them. The handles of Bronze Age knives were often adorned with intricate designs, including animal decorations, turbans, triangular and square patterns. These bronze knives were typically discovered in square tombs, which adds to their historical and archaeological value. A typical Bronze knife has a loop at the end of the handle and a decorative notch on the handle. These knives were crafted using the Casting method, which was a remarkable feat of engineering and craftsmanship.
