Description: | A small Neolithic, polished stone hand axe dating from c. 3500BC - 2100BC. This is very small in comparison with the norm, which probably indicates that it was a votive offering. It is 58.1mm long, 43.1mm wide and 19.9mm thick. It weighs 54.39gm. The axe is extensively damaged, with hardly any of the original polished surface surviving. It is visible only on one side facet and on part of one face. This makes the original shape of the axe difficult to determine. The stone is fine grained with conchoidal fractures and a greenish colour.
