Cf/collection: Moorey 1971 pl. 1: 6, fig. 3, p. 42. check Moorey: in the case of 1951.151 the club head pins, almost certainly put into socket in antiquity reinforce the case for an Elamite origin mid to late 3 M BC. Lion mask on MMLur in curvilinear style of 8-7 cent BC, see 318-21 if ancient and not modern, could represent a subsequent dedication of an axe which was already an antiquity to the deity this lion mask represents.
