12th-15th century AD. An iron axehead with slender blade and chin to the lower edge; oval socket with squared-rectangular closure to the rear. See Glosek, M., Pó?no?redniowieczna bro? obuchowa w zbiorach polskich, Warszawa-?ód?, 1996, pl.XII, especially lett.B, for the type. 593 grams, 18cm (7"). Property of an East Sussex, UK, teacher; formerly in a Devon, UK, collection since the 1990s. This axe is comparable in aspects to a specimen from Lublin, found near the Dominican Convent. These specimens are characterised by a separated eyelet in the lateral projection, forming a near straight line with the neck and a large end with a pointed peak. A good visual parallel is that of an axeman in the battle of Legnic?, from the legend of Saint Jadwidze (Glosek, 1996, p.36 fig.51").
