A cut natural stone ax. The grinding of fire and natural stone axes occurs in the Netherlands from the Neolithic. Typical of this ax is that it is sharpened on all sides. Because of this and partly because of the different shape and the color of the rock there is the chance that it is an ethnographic copy from, for example, Papua New Guinea. The ax is in good condition and misses a few small chips along the cutting edge. The back of the ax shows minor damage
