I had it authenticated and appraised as you see in the email ..I believe it to be a ceremonial axe but that's just my opinion. I'm gona find a better appraiser if I don't sell it on here so I can give a better description of it. I found it last year in Oxford Alabama at a stone mound site as in the picture I have gave. I believe it was very important to someone long ago. Its about 12" long.I wouldn't sell it but I'm trying to come up with funds for a invention I have..if you have any questions feel free to call me 256-847-7558 my name is Patrick  ..thanks
