Spadă din fier, de tip „spatha”. Lama este dreaptă, cu două tăișuri și canal de scurgere al sângelui, cu vârful ascuțit prin îngustarea treptată a lamei. Mânerul este reprezentat de o prelungire organică a lamei sub forma unei tije piramidale înguste și plate, având aproximativ în zona centrală un fragment din cuiul pentru fixarea plăselelor. Pe ambele fețe ale lamei se mai păstrează urme de lemn de la teacă.
