Our expert's notes

"I am Jaguar Paw, son of Flint Sky. My Father hunted this forest before me. My name is Jaguar Paw. I am a hunter. This is my forest. And my sons will hunt it with their sons after I am gone.'
A hero beheading axe from Mel Gibson's 2006 action adventure Apocalypto.

In the last years of the Mayan Empire, a Mayan tribesman (Rudy Youngblood) is taken from his family and imprisoned, and must make a gruelling journey home, pursued by his captors.

Ceremonial weapons were used by priests in the Mayan city to perform their gruesome human sacrifices, including when Jaguar Paw (Youngblood) and other captives were set to be sacrificed before the Myan King and Queen.

Simon Atherton, an armourer who worked with Gibson on Braveheart, was hired to research and provide reconstructions of Mayan weapons to maintain the accuracy of the film. The axe is made of resin, with a painted beige handle resembling wood, and glossy black to resemble obsidian for the axe head. The axe is decorated with feather accessories, faux stitching towards the head and a red grip.

The axe exhibits signs of production use including a small splatter of dried stage blood by the head, minor paint wear and several missing and damaged feathers. Overall it remains in an excellent condition.

Materials: Resin.
