Aboriginal Stone Hand axe - 40 cm (No reserve price)

Aboriginal Green-stone Head Hand Axe. The Aboriginal tribes have been making stone axes for centuries, the only way of dating is through expensive and complex investigation, but Ground-Edge Axes with a distinct polished, smooth cutting edge became more common across parts of Australia within the last 4,500 years. This axe is Modern Era, having a metal nail present to secure the head, so estimate 100 - 150 years old. The stone head is greenstone, typically from Mount William, Victoria. Provenance is via reputable auction house, with paperwork, so no restrictions apply and is legally owned and can be sold. Over 18 age only.
