A cast bronze axe head. The object contains ornamentation around the shaft hole consisting of four stacked human heads on spikes. Three of the heads face the proper right side of the blade, while the top head faces the apex of the blade. All of the heads are adorned with military helmets. The apex of the blade contains a small sculptural element in the form of a crouching animal.
