The body of the axehead widens gradually, and has smooth faces and sides, with no prominent face edges or casting seams. The blade width is 37.55mm and there is no blade tip expansion beyond this. The cutting edge has not been bevelled. The axehead is in good condition, and has a uniform pale olive green patina. Dimensions: length: 62.63mm; width: 37.55mm; thickness: 15.55mm; weight: 94.42g.
