Paleolitico Diaspro Hand axe - 15 cm (Senza prezzo di riserva)

A large and powerful heavy-duty chopper / hand axe, made from dense jasper–chalcedony with a warm brown patina typical of long-term geological exposure. One side shows a clearly defined working edge, created by a sequence of intentional flake removals. The piece displays negative scars, ripple marks and a preserved striking platform, all indicative of controlled knapping. The opposite side contains a naturally shaped ergonomic grip, fitting comfortably in the hand – characteristic for early handheld chopping tools used in processing wood, bone and organic material. Variation in patina suggests older and younger removals, consistent with long-term use and possible reworking in early prehistory. The tool is complete, stable and visually impressive. No export licence is required for this item. The object originates from a private land find in the Netherlands and is part of my own private collection. The seller guarantees full legal ownership and the right to sell this item. Provenance: Found in the Netherlands (river terrace gravels). Stone objects of this prehistoric type have been collected and held in private collections in the Netherlands since before 1999. This specific item was acquired directly by the current owner in 2024–2025, the Netherlands, and has since formed part of a private collection. From the private collection of H.L., the Netherlands. Legally obtained from publicly accessible river gravel deposits with no protected archaeological context. No excavation was carried out. No permit or authorization from the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands (RCE) is required for ownership or sale.. Shipping method: Secure packaging with tracking. The item will be shipped with protective materials to ensure safe delivery.
