Description: | An earlier Neolithic stone polished axe head (3,500-2,500 BC). The axehead has a rounded lozenge-shaped cross-section which tapers from the curved cutting edge (width: 74.01mm) to the butt (width: 32.98mm). The axehead is made from a metamorphic rock, probably sourced from Oxfordshire, that has been polished. There are some flaws on the surfaces that have been partially polished out.Mid-pale grey with marbling, the axehead has been constructed so that the marbling extends along the length. Some modern damage.Dimensions: length 185.12mm; width 74.01mm; thickness 37.02mm; weight 600g
