This Székely-Nádudvar-type copper axe with central shaft-hole comes from the surroundings of the city of Komárno. In its base part, the hole for the handle shows a massive ring, set back from the corpus, reminding a tube embedded in the tool body. The axe was studied under diffused visible light and enhanced lateral visible light by means of a Keyence VHX-7000 digital microscope and X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) by means of a Niton XL3 spectrometer. This tool is a compact cast piece made up of almost pure compact copper, incl. the reinforcement of the holeś circumference. It was not possible to confirm the assumption about potential autonomous use of the metal tube for creating the handle hole during the casting of the object presumably through a single-use clay mould.

In 2017, a bronze socketed axe with a loop and prominent barbs on the blade was discovered at the Kurcewo 10 (AZP 34-10/48), site in north-western Poalnd (Fig. 1). Due to the shape of the profile, thickening near the edge and the decorative motif, the tool was classified as hexagonal axe of variant B (Fig. 2). The artefact was dated to the Bronze Age Period V. It was established that the specimen from Kurcewo combines three different stylistic designs: a Nordic hexagonal profile and loop, a western pendulum motif and Pomeranian barbs on the blade (Fig. 4). The results of chemical composition analyses revealed that the artefact was made of two-component (Cn-Sn) bronze, with elevated lead (Pb) content, considered a deliberate component of the alloy. A relatively small amount of other elements was found in the alloy composition, with zinc having the biggest share (Fig. 5). The results of the analyses conducted make it doubtful that the axe could have been used as a tool and seem to indicate its representative function.
