Description: | Romano-British Votive axe-head, curved sub-rectangular with section thinning to damaged blade and shaft emerging from upper edge, stump of broken shaft on lower edge and traces of incised saltire representing binding on both faces, 26 x >13mm. Model objects of many kinds are known from Roman Britain, of these, axes are most commonly found, usually in shrine contexts. They have some association with the Romano-Celtic deity Jupiter Taranis (Green 1976, 42-3 and 1978, 3).
