Miner's axe
German miner's ceremonial axe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The miner's axe (German: Bergbarte, Bergparte) is a ceremonial axe serving as a part of the German miner's habit donned for miners' parades.[1][2]
It is a small axe with the long top tapering to a point and a long handle.[3]
It is also called colloquially "Barte" or "Parte", which is a medieval term for axe in general. The word is preserved, e.g., in Hellebarde, "halberd".[4]
