NEOLITHIC GRANITE CELT, HAND AXE. This fine prehistoric artifact is 4.75" long, almost 2" wide, 1.5" thick, and weighs 15 ounces. It is a celt or hand axe, a tool that was used in everyday life thousands of years ago. It is made of speckled granite and is in very good condition with great patina and surface weathering, and minor ancient damage. It is from the western Sahara Desert of North Africa and dates back to the Neolithic Era (New Stone Age ), some 3,500 to 8,000 years ago or more. This is a wonderful piece and a great prehistoric collectible artifact. (I offer 1-day shipping as a matter of course, and often ship the same day payment is received. I figure once you've paid for an item, you own it, and might as well have it as soon as possible.) As with all of my artifacts, it is guaranteed authentic for life!

*The field of Sahara Neolithic Artifacts was expanded by the advent of GPS technology for meteorite hunters in the Sahara Desert. Thousands of years ago North Africa was a temperate environment similar to our own Great Plains. Countless generations of Stone-Age Man lived, hunted, fought and died there, leaving behind their weapons and tools. Today, North Africa consists largely of the Sahara Desert, an inhospitable area almost the size of the United States. Constantly shifting sands and the ability to now safely travel off of established trade routes have expanded this fascinating field of study by making these artifacts available to scholars and collectors around the world.
