No axes of this type have ever been found in Poland. The state of preservation of the artifact, reveal-ing extensive damages, could be related to the scrap yard where it appeared. The sloppy execution of the ornament could be an indication that the artifact is in fact a modern replica. Traseological examination and elemental composition analysis (XRF) revealed production imperfections and an atypical chemical composition of the casting alloy not encountered in the Bronze Age. The results lead to the conclusion that the artifact is indeed a replica of an axe typically found in the territories of Denmark and Sweden. The findings add to the discussion on the presence of replicas of archaeological finds in museum collections.}, type={Text}, title={Siekierka z piętką typu nordyjskiego „ze Szczecina”.
