c.3000-2500 B.C. A huge and exceptional Neolithic ground and polished stone axe found many years back in Salisbury, Wiltshire and is Ex.Simon Camm Collection, Cornwall. [Simon, a retired Geologist, over many decades had amassed the most fantastic collection of only the finest quality and rarest examples of Stone Age and Bronze Age artefact's but has very reluctantly now had to start downsizing his wonderful collection] This enormous and imposing stone axe (1.1kg in weight) has been expertly fashioned from a hard green stone (Dolerite) and is beautifully symmetrical with a good blade edge and is elegant in form with a gradual tapering towards the butt (hafting) end of the axe. It would have been hafted into a large wooden handle for use and firmly secured using animal sinew and natural tree resins. Totally intact and in lovely condition, a much larger than usual and especially choice example of a very imposing Neolithic axe from a most prestigious collection, 225mm long x 65mm at widest x 52mm at thickest point,
