Roughly trapezoidal-shaped axe head, with the blade on the longest side and the non-parallel sides arching in. The blade side extends to a point on one end while, on the other end, it is double the length, narrowing to a squared off edge. On the opposite side, a rectangle juts out from one corner. The blade has striated silver undertones tarnished with blotchy black.
