Small socketed axe without a loop. The base is partially missing due to corrosion and casting failure as there was not enough metal, and there are holes and bubbles in the metal. It has an internal shaft support. The edge is slightly curved and the sides are parallel. The ax has a brown patina and some golden spots.
