The axe is broken in two and the neck is missing; this is old damage that happened before deposition. The edge is polished and sharpened again. Green, most of the patina is gone and there are golden spots showing where the axe has been polished in modern times. Langquaid type (Vandkilde’s type B4). Length: c. 11.5 cm Width: c. 7 cm across the widest part of the blade. Photo: Svein Skare © University Museum in Bergen, CC BY-SA 4.0
