Blunt blade, both corners splayed, waisted central section, butt end expanded and rectangular in section, with two holes pierced (for suspension loop?) into its end, running internally longitudinally into the blade. Remains of ?iron wire fused inside one hole - when found, more of the wire was sticking out of this hole, now broken off.
