Bronze age knife from Wollishofen-Haumesser site

3D Model

A late Bronze Age knife modeled after artifacts discovered at the Wollishofen-Haumesser site in Zurich, Switzerland. These knives were excavated from layers of a Late Bronze Age settlement near Lake Zurich in the 1880s, constructions.

Made from bronze, the knife features a blade with a distinctive bow pattern, typical of Bronze Age craftsmanship.

The original artifact, unearthed during excavation, features a decoration on the side and the back of the blade spine. However, this 3D interpretation does not include this detail, as it will be added using a bronze chisel after annealing and before cold hammering.

This model is used for a successful replication of the artifact.
