About the Item
Two Neolithic basalt hone stones mounted on black steel bases. A hone stone was used to sharpen weapons and tools such as an adze, hoe or axe. These beautiful prehistoric objects are compelling as a modern sculpture. Each has it's own character, I'm offering these together but could break them up and sell individually.
7.75 inches high
