Description from the seller

Particularly hard stone (diabase?) unfinished battle-axe. There is an attempt to bore the haft hole of about 2 cm, but it is not completed. Interesting object from the presumably Funnel Beaker culture, acquired from a private collector via the auction house Bruun-Rasmussen in Denmark. Approximately 1165 grams.
