ROMAN MINIATURE OBJECT
43
An incomplete copper alloy miniature flat axe, possibly a votive object dating to the Roman period or possibly even earlier (c. 43 -410 AD). The object consists of a sub-trapezoidal blade, with an uneven 'cutting-edge' which extends further on one side of the axe. The object has been broken in antiquity, although it seems likely that it was attached to a copper alloy shaft comparable to object BERK-131E06. It measures 27.6 mm in length, 21.8 mm wide, 7.2 mm thick and weighs 15.8 g.
