Here is a large biface that I would call a neolithic handaxe. Found in Mali, it shows a nice patina, and has nice color.

The example is more or less symmetrical, and to me, seems distinctly different from the more common asymmetrical examples. For some reason, this is how most archaeologists would describe a handaxe, despite it being quite different visually.
