The article deals with a new find of a decorated battle-axe head, which can be dated with a high degree of certainty to the Great Moravian period. The axe head was found in the Oblekovice cadastre in Znojmo in 2021 during metal detecting and handed over to the South Moravian Museum. Subsequent prospection of the site surroundings did not reveal any other related finds. In Moravia, the Oblekovice axe head is unique for its decoration.
