Title
Bronze Age Votive Axe head Possibly
Description
English: This is an interesting fragment, possibly mimicking a prehistoric axe head in lead alloy. The fragment’s form has the general shape of a Neolithic stone axe head with evidence of some working to the blade area. As it is made from a lead alloy, it may date anywhere from the Bronze Age, through to the Roman occupation. Given that diminutive size of the piece, it may have been used as an amulet or votive offering.
