​Description:
Massive and visually commanding grooved stone axe (throated axe). Manufactured using authentic prehistoric pecking and abrasion techniques. The pronounced central groove, designed for heavy-duty hafting, is well-defined and deep. The surface retains a genuine ancient patina with stable mineral and earthy encrustations. Grooved axes of this scale and mass are significantly uncommon in the European lithic record compared to standard polished axes.

​Condition:
Honest ancient break at the cutting edge, strictly resulting from heavy functional impact during antiquity. The structure is completely stable. No modern restorations, no surface alterations, and no artificial repatination. A genuine, untouched utilitarian artifact.
