Though incomplete the blade appears to have been leaf-shaped in plan with a pointed oval section. There appear to be two worn holes on both blades to either side of the central spines where it meets the shaft. There is also a break between the blade and the socket shaft which has been glued back together post-excavation by the finder.The object has a mid grey-green patina. It is 124.62mm long and 35.34mm wide. The socket shaft is 63.77mm long and the blade is 59.94mm long. The central ridge is 12.05mm wide and the blade is only 1.80mm thick. It weighs 94g.This fragment is likely to be the lower portion of YORYM-17F9E2 which is from the same location.
