Neolithic hand axe measuring 136mm exhibiting beautiful colours throughout the flint, a finely honed hand axe of good proportions and exacting grooves for placement of ones palm and fingers - nice to hold in the hand, with a subtle transitions of shape and hosts a reasonably sharp edge. The colours are beholding, with a palette of few that blend together to form a unique relic. A skilled craftsman will have treasured this weapon.

In prehistory [backed by a plethora of excavations and research of the habitat of Neolithic man] a hand adze is a familiar and typical style that transcends thousands of years, and across many countries around the world. This design is found from the heart of Africa and up, through to the United Kingdom, where it is difficult to tell one from another without expert location (open field discovery) OFD notes.

This OFD was discovered in the Western Sahara Desert, where Nomads and Berbers discover such relics whilst traversing the North African deserts. These relics are continually unveiled and re-covered by the winds making such discoveries more difficult than one would suspect.

Neolithic Stone Age; an age where Neanderthals created and brought agriculture to humanity, extinguishing the nomadic hunter-gatherer, estimated; 4000 BC when the idea in farm advancement using live stock - a progression of behavioural and cultural characteristics that change humanity forever.
