c.10,000-8,000 B.C. A large & nicely worked Mesolithic Tranchet Hand Axe found many years back at Hellesdon, Near Norwich, Norfolk and from a Norfolk collection. This good example has been bi-facially worked throughout from a pleasant light and dark grey flint, nicely struck and retouched over its upper surface to form the typically angular / oblique main chopping edge. Two small areas of pebble cortex remaining on upper surface. Totally intact and undamaged and very nice condition. A good sized and nicely worked Mesolithic hand axe with a pleasant shiny patination to worked surfaces, a very nice example of the type, 113mm long x 63mm wide x 40mm thick
