## Lexicon entries here

## Remarks

One word, I-DA-MA-TE, on a small double axe of sheet metal from the cave at Arkhalkhori. AR Zf 2, a second votive axe from the cave, carries the same word; sources differ on which of the two is gold and which silver. Generated stand-in, not a scan: the shape follows the published description, the sign layout is approximate.

## 3D model
