Spearhead with a robust, short cusp at the top, of lozenge section at the first half, then enlarged to a square. Slightly convex-edged axe with only slightly tapering shoulder, featuring a Helvetic cross open-work. Straight rear fluke slightly pointed downwards. On one face there is a deeply stamped but not readable mark. The straps are very long, one with old repair. The wooden shaft probably of later production.
