The image displays three traditional battle axes laid side by side on a white marble surface. Each axe features a curved blade with a rugged, somewhat tarnished finish, hinting at either age or frequent use. The handles are made of light-colored wood, showing signs of wear like minor scuffs and spots. Notably, the handles are adorned near the top with intricately designed metal cuffs, embellished with patterns and a star-like emblem, suggesting a blend of functionality and ceremonial use. The craftsmanship indicates a focus on both durability and aesthetic appeal, possibly denoting these axes as items of significance in their cultural context. The overall arrangement and backdrop give the presentation a clean and distinct appearance, emphasizing the axes' details and craftsmanship.
