Ca. 8000-6000 BC. A rare artifact of the European Mesolithic era - a horn axe. This stunning piece showcases a flared butt and tapering profile. It is adorned with a single, drilled hole that allowed for attachment to a handle, making it a versatile tool for the early inhabitants of Europe. During the Mesolithic era, these horn axes were vital tools for hunting, woodworking, and other daily tasks. They were used for chopping, splitting, and shaping wood, as well as for skinning and butchering game. The flared butt of the horn axe provided a secure grip for the user, while the tapering profile allowed for precise cuts and maneuvers. The hole in the axe head allowed for the attachment of a handle, which provided additional leverage and control.Size: L:185mm / W:100mm ; 240gProvenance: Property of a European collector, ex. Marcus Prill, 2007; formerly in private German collection.
