IRON AGE MINIATURE OBJECT
-400
Complete cast copper alloy miniature votive axe. The axe is shown in detail, and each facet is carefully formed. The top of the axe is convex, the bottom is straight and the cutting edge straight and faceted on either side mimiking a sharpened blade. The axe narrows as it passes through the haft. The butt of the axe is flat, and each side has two facets to it. The haft is long and straight and has a rounded pommel-like terminal with a narrowed collar above. The other end of the haft wraps around the axe and extends slightly beyond it.
