About the Item

This Chinese Neolithic-inspired stone axe head, meticulously carved from an orange/brown stone, is a testament to ancient craftsmanship and cultural significance. Axe heads of this style date back to the Neolithic period (10,000-8,000 B.C.), and embodied the technological prowess and utilitarian ingenuity of early Chinese societies. Mounted on a custom steel mount, this artifact stands as a tangible link to a bygone era. Neolithic stone axes held multifaceted roles in Chinese society. Beyond their practical use in hunting and agriculture, they were revered as emblems of authority and status, often associated with ritualistic or ceremonial significance. Their exquisite craftsmanship and durable materials, such as nephrite stone, underscored their importance as symbols of power and prestige. This stone axe head not only serves as a tangible connection to China's Neolithic past but also represents the cultural values and social dynamics of ancient societies, where objects of utility could transcend their practical function to become revered symbols of status and authority.
