Ca. 8000-6000 BC. A horn axe with a slightly curved profile, and a single, drilled hole, which allowed for attachment to a handle, making it an essential and versatile tool for the early inhabitants of Europe. During the Mesolithic era, these horn axes served a variety of functions, such as hunting, woodworking, and daily chores. The tapered shape and flared butt of the horn axe provided a secure grip and precise control, which was particularly useful for chopping, splitting, and shaping wood, as well as for skinning and butchering game. The hole in the axe head allowed for attachment to a handle, which enhanced the leverage and control of the user.Size: L:140mm / W:70mm ; 260gProvenance: Property of a European collector, ex. Marcus Prill, 2007; formerly in private German collection.
