The image, very schematic, is taken from a well-known Sardinian bronze documentary source of the 2nd millennium BC, Sa seguredda (the small axe) until a few decades ago resisted as an indispensable apotropaic object among the Sardinian populations of the interior. It can therefore constitute a symbol of good wishes and prosperity.
