Description

A heavily corroded iron object photographed against a pale background, with a dark, rounded upper part and a broader lower section. Its crusted surface is split into flaking plates, with deep cracks and rough, layered edges along the sides. The outline is hard to read, so the axe shape is not clearly visible.

English, translated from the original record

Iron tools: axe, I.440.
