Ave!

Tool, Stone, Sopot Culture, ca, 5000 BC, Rare!

Polished Stone; 20CM/7.5 inches x 0.43kg/15.3 oz.

Con/ Riverine inclusions on the large end, otherwise, As Polished and Used.

Description/ Tri-faced (?), as seen in the photos, the top is rounded and the botton is flat.

Use/ Due to the size and shape of this artifact, we can only surmise as to its use but, most likely, it was used to grind the local grains/nuts for breads, soups, etc. See the final photo of it in my hand.

Seller's Note/ Ground-found by an enthusiast walking the banks of the Bosut River at low-tide, spotted it and removed it from the river mud. Oh, what a lucky man he was! Over all these years NRC has received any number of similar polished Neolithic stone artifacts, but sadly, none of them have were provenance as to the exact era or culture. In this case our reference to the Sopot Culture is exactly as noted above.

This very rare stone axe is perfect for anyone's office desk or other display.

Now, just imagine how, if anyone asks you about it, you can nonchalantly reply: "Oh, that old thing? It's just a seven-thousand year old Sopot culture stone grain grinder."

Pretty cool, right? LOL!
