AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Battle hammer / battle axe from the Neolithic.
There is an old blemish on the back.
Please take a good look at the photos.
Dimensions 14.5 cm x 5.0 cm x 6.5 cm
Timeline 4000-1800
I bought the war hammer in the early 1990s at the big antique/collectors market in Münster (Germany).
From my fifteenth year up to and including my seventieth year I have built a large collection of Bronze Age and Stone Age objects in all kinds of forms, including terracotta pots and urns from the Bronze Age. All from Western Europe and purchased from private individuals, at auctions, collectors' markets, antique shops and sometimes received. I am now 85 and it is time to say goodbye to my collection.
I have no authenticity certificates or receipts for the items, and I can only say that I obtained the items legally.
If you have any doubts, please do not buy.
Attention!!!!
I don't ship outside Europe.
