This suggests that it may have been left hanging as a votive offering at an ancient altar or temple. It perhaps contained a gift of oil, honey or milk, meant to win the favor of the gods. What would the person who left it have wished for so long ago? A life of health, wealth, and happiness? Could we hope for more today?
