Abstract
This study presents three stone objects discovered in the Suceava city's area (Suceava County), Romania. One of them is new, and it was discovered in 2010, and the other two were published previously. The pieces, which are unique by their morphological characteristics, were included by the authors among the Middle and Late Bronze Age artifacts, and they were linked to the Komariv and Noua culture. In terms of functionality, these can be considered scepters, even if we don't have the possibility to refer to similar findings. Also, taking into consideration the special circumstances in which they were found, we can assume that there are votive deposits in or near aquatic environment, respectively Suceava river.
