Product Description
c.3000-2500 B.C. An excellent and good sized Neolithic polished flint axe head found many years back on a farm in Aldeby, Norfolk. Expertly fashioned from an attractive mottled light and dark grey flint, a well defined and symmetrical example which has been painstaking hand polished over its entirety (most likely using nothing more than water, coarse sands and and abrasive rubbing stone), further fine polishing has been administered to either side at the blade end of the axe resulting in a very smooth and shiny finish. A small old, fairly inconspicuous, chip to edge of blade on one side which does not detract from this fine axe, an attractive and very tactile example of its type with good surface ageing and a nice shiny overall patina, 142mm long x 64mm wide x 28mm thick
