Pollaxe by an unknown artist. The image shows a medieval weapon with a long handle and a head that has three distinct parts. The head is made of metal, likely steel or iron, and has a silver-colored appearance with visible signs of wear and tear, including discoloration and chipping. The left side of the head is a curved axe-like blade. The right side of the head has a flared end with a serrated edge. The top of the head features a long, narrow, pointed spike. The handle appears to be made of wood or another organic material, covered with a metal strip that has rivets and shows signs of rust or corrosion. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
