A fantastic ovate-shaped early Palaeolithic hand axe, dating from the Mid Acheulian and fashioned from a tan-patinated fine-grained hardstone. This enigmatic hand axe is bifacially-worked and beautifully preserved, given its great age.

 

Knapped by the hominid species Homo erectus or Homo heidelbergensis around 200,000 years ago, it would grace the wall of any home. Framed and hand-finished in ash.
