Prehistoric Artefact Palaeolithic Acheulean Surmounted Hand Axe
About the Item
Palaeolithic Acheulean hand axe measuring thirty centimetres in stand overall. With an accomplished working form, executed by the hands of Homo Ergaster ancestor, contemporaneous to European Homo erectus. Now set into a bespoke bronze cradle mount enabling removal and study of this pristine prehistoric axe.
