Axe with slightly bowed handle ending in a rounded finial flattened at the sides. The finial is in the shape of a human head - it has large blank eyes, two holes for nostrils and a groove for a mouth. From below the mouth narrow rod emerges flaring out into an axe head. The narrow end of the rod projects slightly out of the back of the head. Geometric patterns can be seen engraved on the axe blade.
