Ötzi the iceman replicas
Ötzi the Iceman, also known as “Frozen Fritz” or the “Hauslabjoch Mummy” was found with a collection of copper age artefacts which included an axe with a copper blade. AncientCraft’s Ötzi the Iceman Replicas are carefully made using archaeological literature and James’s understanding of the materials, allowing him to produce replicas that are extremely similar to the Iceman’s original tools.
If you have a specific replica you require that is not listed on the AncientCraft shop, please let us know.
