The object is symmetrical from each side and consists of a rounded blade, 36mm wide. From here the shaft tapers inwards until it is 23mm wide. From this point the axe is rectangular in form and tapers outwards in thickness from 7mm to 11mm wide. 30mm from its other edge it begins to taper inwards until it is 4mm thick at its tip. The rectangular shaped portion of the axe has raised flanges on each side, with one side more prounounced.
