A Taíno Limestone Ceremonial Axe (Hacha), Dominican Republic, 10th to 15th Century A.D.

Fine carved limestone ceremonial hacha featuring a stylized anthropomorphic figure. The piece shows a prominent head with incised facial features and headdress elements, integrated into a cross-shaped body with broad lateral projections and a solid cylindrical handle. The light beige limestone has a smooth, attractive natural patina with subtle textural variations and traces of mineral deposits.
