Neolithic Axehead
This Neolithic axe head dates to approximately 4,000 to 2,500 BCE and has been mounted in a museum quality glass dome bell jar. The Neolithic period was marked by the transition from nomadic hunter-gatherer societies to settled agricultural communities across Europe.
The axe head shows evidence of careful knapping and polishing, techniques developed to improve durability and cutting efficiency. Its symmetrical shape and ground edges suggest it may have been both a practical implement and a valued object, possibly used in ritual or symbolic contexts as well as daily labor. Some surfaces may bear marks from ancient use or contact with the soil over thousands of years.
Recovered from sites in Northern or Western Europe, this piece has been minimally cleaned to preserve its historical integrity. It stands as a direct connection to early human innovation and the profound societal shifts of the Neolithic period, when the foundations of modern civilisation were first laid.
Base: Solid oak wood
Mount: Stainless Steel
Dome: Handblown 2mm tempered glass
Dimensions: 120x160mm
