Axe with a wooden shaft and a brown-black corroded blade in a shape reminiscent of a funnel. A narrow, rectangular piece extends perpendicularly from the shaft before flaring out, the blade patterned with scattered "V" shapes and showing occasional silver glints. A coarse, canvas, yellow-brown cloth wraps around the shaft, just below the blade. Cracks mark the shaft, red brown striations occasionally showing through.
