A polished grey flint axe head of typical squat lentoid form with a finely honed curved cutting edge. The axe is beautifully balanced and has a very tactile surface.

Acquired early 20th Century. There is a trace of a black ink find-spot inscription although frustratingly this has been all but worn away.
