IRON AGE MINIATURE OBJECT
-100
Cast copper-alloy miniature votive socketed axe. Parallel vertical sides, tapering in slightly to straight blade edge with rounded ends. Irregular, sub-oblong socket, uneven upper edge. Side loop. Surfaces lightly scratched. Pale green slightly mottled patina. This example is very similar to a metal-detected find from All Cannings, Wiltshire (Robinson 1995, 64 no. 18 fig. 2).
