Unfortunately I have no picture with the eye. But it is of oval shape. 4x2.5 cm if I remember right.

Interesting read , thanks for sharing !

I bet there are still a few of those buried up and down the country , if the main strategy was to throw them at first charge.
And imagine being at the receiving end of that !!!
With just a wooden shield and a sword to protect you ..

Yeah, it must have been terrifying!
But don't underestimate those wooden shields I think they were more than capable of stopping a small throwing axe.
