The body gradually narrows towards the blade, 18mm from the mouth of the socket is a loop that has been cut into the main body of the axe, there edges of this loop have been rolled over slightly where it have been forced open when the metal was still hot. The blade 33mm wide, .1mm thick is expanded and is has a low curve in cross-section, there is a small section missing from the bottom of the blade but otherwise the rest id complete.
