Socketed axe. Most of the socket and the loop are missing, broken off by the finder. The edge was resharpened and the axe hafted and used as a scraper. The axe has parallel sides, slightly waisted, and convex edge. The blade has a hexagonal cross-section. The corners of the edge may have curved up or outwards, as it looks like they have been filed off. The facet is trapezoid and looks like it started at the rib at or beneath the mouth of the socket. Part of a transverse rib can be discerned. The axe has no internal haft support. The surface is rough, mostly golden with some darker brown areas. The shape is similar to Baudou’s type VII C 1 a and Montelius Minnen fig. 1175. Length: c. 7 cm. Width: c. 4.1 cm across edge.

Context:
Found in a bog, no other information.

Location:
Strand, Fiskå (gnr. 8), Vanylven, County: Møre & Romsdal

Date:
The size should indicate a date to the Late Bronze Age, while the outline with parallel sides is reminiscent of Period 3 axes. A date to the Younger Bronze Age period 4 is probable.
