A specimen of nearly the same type, found near Uelzen, Hanover, is engraved by von Estorff;[1] another from Sweden, by Sjöborg.[2]

In the Museum at Geneva is a very similar axe of greenstone (51/4 inches), found in the neighbourhood of that town. One of serpentine, much longer in its proportions (91/4 inches), and with an oval shaft-hole, is in the Museum at Lausanne. It was found at Agiez, Canton de Vaud.
