*19.2.6 Double-headed axes.* Copper double-axes have been reported from other cultural levels. At Harappa there are two specimens of a tool type that recalls the double-axe; the two working ends are not sharp and there are kinks between the edge and the waist. There is another double-axe of the Harappa culture from LOTHAL. Of a slightly different type, it is a rectangular piece of copper flattened at both ends and sharpened. The waist is narrow but not so prominently as in examples from the Hoards. A terracotta double-axe has been reported from Pd III of PANDU RAJAR DHIBI. It is also depicted in the form of a motif on a clay seal.
