Yes, possibly asymmetrical double-bladed axe, the missing blade is flaring and narrower. 10-11th century eastern Europe, sometimes misidentified as 'viking'.

Thank you. Usually they are referred as Byzantine war axes

To me it looks very like the Byzantine battle axe. Indications of size and provenance (where found) would clinch it.
