Slender socketed axe with loop and extended neck. The finder polished the axe, so the green patina is almost gone. There is a faint horizontal rib around the hole. No internal shaft support. The ax was cast incorrectly: the loop is tight and part of the socket is missing on one side. Whether the ax was actually used is impossible to say as the blade has been sharpened in modern times. Baudou’s Scanian variant B 2 a. Length: c. 9.8 cm. Width: 5.6 cm across the blade
