Description: | A cast copper alloy miniature axe, probably a votive object. The axe has a flat bladed cutting edge set perpendicular to the main body of the axe and the shaft hole. The axe is in good condition and has a deep brown patina. Although most miniature or votive axes are assigned to the Roman period, there is suggestion that some pre-date this era; the style and patina on this object does suggest an earlier date.
