Paleolithic Flint Hand axe - 7 cm (No Reserve Price)
A robust Paleolithic core tool (chopper) made on a large river pebble of flint/chert.
The piece shows a clearly defined worked cutting/striking edge, created through controlled removal of several large flakes. The opposite side retains its original cortex, a typical feature of early core-tool technology.
Visible are negative flake scars, impact points and a preserved patina consistent with long-term burial. No modern damage or restoration.
