Axe, Stone, Sopot Culture, ca, 5000 BC, On Hold!

Ave!

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

Polished Stone; 75mm x 48mm x 19mm / 118gm

Con/ A few ancient chips and breaks, otherwise, As Polished and Used.

Description/ Bi-faced, as seen in the photos, the business end is slightly curved. The top is flat and the bottom is rounded, while the hammer end was polished flat.

Use/ Due to the size of this artifact, whether it was used in-hand or bound to a wooden handle, is moot.

Ref/ An archeological site near Vinkovci, Croatia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sopot_culture

Seller's Note/ Ground-found by an enthusiast walking the banks of the Danube river at low-tide, spotted it and removed it from the river mud. Over all these years NRC has received any number of similar polished Neolithic stone artifacts, but sadly, none of them have were provenanced 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 axe." Pretty cool, right? LOL!
