This is a lovely Neolithic Thin-Butted Flint Axe from Denmark. The axe has a beautiful patina and reddish coloration due to being exposed to Iron-rich sediment in the bogland where it lay for several thousand years. It has an unusually wide and flared bit-end which enhances the aesthetics of the piece, and has been skilfully flaked on all sides. The artifact was made at some point during the Dolmen Period through to the final part of the Early Passage Grave time, which was around 900 years in length between 3900 - 3000 BC. Length 19.2 cm: Width 7.8 cm: Weight 666 Grammes. This axe was acquired from an auction house in Sweden and is guaranteed authentic as described.
