Complete palstave with a long and slender blade and simple decoration, a so-called weapon palstave. The neck has high flanges, and the transition to the blade is marked by two horizontal ribs, one wider than the other. The edge is wide and curves outwards. There is some damage to the edge and along the blade. The palstave is corroded, but the remains of a green patina can be seen. Length: 16.3 cm. Width: 3.6 cm above the edge.
