A pair of absolutely stunning quality smaller silex axes, from the Singlegrave period-to early Daggertime, 2800-2000 BC.
Both are expertly polished and long slender types, likley for precision work in wood. One is greyish with nice fossil-remains in the silex surface and likely dating rather late perhaps even Daggertime, the other a scarce type and likely dating earlier, with a marvelous amber-orange patina.
Size: 13,4 cm. and 11,2 cm.
Condition: Both choice, the largest axe almost mint condition, the other with minimal roughness to the bit.
Ex. Old Danish Private Collection from Jylland.
