ROMAN MINIATURE OBJECT
43
Possible copper alloy miniature axe, now very corroded and bent. Made from a flat 1.5mm thick piece rather than cast with rounded handle etc as common examples have, but it is typical in outline with the handle shaft projecting above the blade. Of the examples shown in Green 1976 pl.xxviii one from Woodeaton (k) is the most similar with the same flat construction. Original length c. 35mm, width at blade 17mm.
