Item Details
Description
**Originally Listed At $350**

Northern Europe, Denmark, Neolithic period, ca. 3900 to 1700 BCE. A beautiful hand axe with retooling, made from a creamy beige-hued stone. The polished axe is part of the technology that marked Neolithic life in northwestern Europe, alongside farming, pottery, and longhouses. Axes of this sort are often found inside dolmens, large granite blocks that form tombs. This example is notable for its thick butt end as well as its edge which is still sharp even after thousands of years. Size: 5.3" L x 2.6" W (13.5 cm x 6.6 cm)

Provenance: private Lumberton, Texas, USA collection, acquired before 2010
