Small socketed axe with loop and extended neck. The loop is broken and missing, this looks like old damage. There is a transverse rib around the socket, starting and ending at the top of the loop. The axe has an internal shaft support. The edge of the blade is straight, and one side of the axe curves more than the other, so that the blade is lopsided. The socket has an oval cross-section while the blade has a hexagonal cross-section. Green patina, the edge of the blade has been polished and ground in modern times. Baudous type VII C 3. Length: 6.7 cm. Width: c. 4.8 cm across the blade. Photo: Olav Espevoll© University Museum in Bergen, CC BY-SA 4.0
