The axe-like iron bar forged from iron has a form of an elongated axe with a low blade and a wedge fitted with a short lug and small ears. Artefacts similar to the presented one have been found only in few sites to the north and more numerous sites to the south of the Carpathians. The axe-like iron bar from Modlnica represents the Lesser Poland (Vistulan) type. It can be dated, merely on the basis of analogies, to the 9th c.
