A bronze axe with socket and loop, so-called Schnabeltüllenbeil, recovered in 2002 when dredging the bed of an unnamed stream at Senisławice (comm. Opatowiec, distr. Kazimierza Wielka, woj. świętokrzyskie), may be classified by its form to the first variant of dziobata axes, acc. to J. Kuśnierz (1998, p. 10–12). Finds of this variant of such axes in Małopolska, dated to HaA1 – early HaA2, are considered to be the result of exchange with areas beyond the Carpathian Range, more exactly, the result of contacts maintained by the people of the górnośląsko-małopolska (Upper Silesia-Little Poland) Group and Tarnobrzeg Group of Lusatian Culture with Pilin Culture and early phases of Gáva Culture. The fact that the axe was discovered in a river bed, like a number of other bronzes dating from the same period suggests the piece’s special association with the watery environment, ie. its character of a votive offering.

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.
