This is the Russian TMD-44, a High-Explosive-Blast (HE-Blast), square-shaped, wooden-bodied, Anti-Vehicle (AV), landmine that is designed to damage or destroy a vehicle by its blast effect, similar in appearance to the Russian TMD-B of WWII and appears to be an updated development.

The TMD-44 is constructed using nails or glue and it has a cloth or leather carrying handle screwed or stapled to the side. The major difference from the TMD-B is that it has a circular bakelite fuze cavity cap centred on the top instead of a hinged wooden slat. The TMD-44 is normally manufactured but field-produced variants have been recovered in different locations. For this reason, the specifications may vary from place to place.

The landmine is found in a natural wood finish and painted in a variety of colours. It has no anti-disturbance cavities but has ample room for fitting Booby-Traps (BTPs). The fuze used is the MV-5 mechanical pressure which is made of steel.
