Bronze Age, cast bronze amulet pendant in the form of an axe head, with a broad trapezoidal blade tapering to a narrow upper section pierced for suspension.
The pendant will be delivered on a modern leather jewellery cord, ready for modern wear or to put on display.

-> Bronze Age axe-shaped pendants are generally interpreted as symbolic or amuletic objects rather than functional tools. The axe was a powerful and widely recognised form, associated with strength, authority, and possibly protection, and miniature versions likely served as personal talismans. Worn suspended, such pendants may have conveyed status or invoked the symbolic power of the axe in daily life.
