Foot Soldier with Battleaxe
Fleur-de-Lis Coat of arms foot soldier with a double headed battleaxe. Most medieval European battle axes had broad, socketed heads, and some included long strips of metal (langets) along the haft to prevent the haft from being damaged during battle. Battle axes were specialized versions of utility axes. Many were suitable for use in one hand, while others were larger and were wielded two-handed. Axes designed for warfare ranged in weight from just over 0.5 kg to 3 kg, and in length from just over 30 cm to upwards of 1.5 m. Axes were always cheaper than swords and far more available. Realistic hand painted figure. approx 7.7 x 4.4 x 9.3 cm
