Description: | This ceremonial axe is made from a mid-brown wood, and has been identified as being produced by a master carver. It displays a janiform figure at the top of the axe sharing a single coiffure and featuring a serene manner with closed eyes. Both figures display a protruding navel and the rear-facing figure rests his hands on his knees. The long slender handle is well rounded and displays a soft sheen. The axe-head is made from iron and appears to be well constructed with no obvious repairs.
