The ridged iron blade is attached to a wooden shaft by a slotted socket. The tip of the blade is broken off. Originally, the entire length of the shaft was wrapped with fine iron wire. Due to the state of preservation, this is only present in the last third. A historical label labelled "11 W" is attached to the neck of the socket. Provenance: Africa (?). The object belongs to the estate of the senior general practitioner Georg Wilke (*1859 Dresden +1938 Rochlitz), which initially went to the teaching collection of the Rochlitz secondary school after his death and was transferred to the collection of Rochlitz Castle in the 1960s.
