A collection of 3 iron and stone axe heads, each hafted on a wooden handle. The largest axe is made by P. Garcia, and stamped on the blade with "PG" above the full name (slightly rubbed and faint) is an anvil. The cylindrical socket is hafted onto a polished wooden handle. The other iron axe has a slender head and a weathered handle and heavy patina.

• FRENCH NEOLITHIC STONE HAND AXEWestern

A lovely hand-knapped chert stone hand axe from the Neolithic period. The axe has a thick butt end which bears a rounded profile and tapers gently towards a sharpened tip. Deep grooves form the rocky yet smooth texture of the implement as the chert displays hues of chalky and ash gray with white and aubergine inclusions. Stone axes like this one would have been used for woodworking or tilling the soil.
