The head was forged in one piece, with an axe-blade formed with stylised silhouette projection at the lower inside edge and struck with a circular mark. It has a rectangular socket impaled by a transverse bolt with long pyramidal heads, and rectangular hammer with fluted diamond-cut.
These face a neck formed in three strongly waisted stages: on its faceted long wooden haft fitted with two pairs of reinforcing straps, while the head additionally retained by a pair of iron wedges with tightly spiralling terminals.
