Neolithic Hand axe - 23.8 cm

It is an impressive Neolithic burial axe, crafted from an extraordinarily uncommon stone. Its measurements, morphology, stone, and slenderness make it a very special piece.

It has approximate measurements of 24 cm in height, 5.6 cm in width, and a thickness ranging from 0.3 mm at its edges to about 1.4 cm at its widest part. It weighs 515 grams, which further highlights the unusual nature of the material due to its lightness, and its exquisite craftsmanship given its thinness.

It features a retouched edge, typical of dolmens, which was a technique used to prevent theft, making it even more special. There are very few known like this!!!




Origin
It comes from my grandfather's collection, which he acquired in 1965 from a French collector.
