Two Stone Axes

[Ian]

Lee,

Thank you for showing your two Mt Hagen axe heads. These old "utilitarian" forms (i.e., non-ceremonial) are not commonly found these days. The more familiar examples with woven plant material to aid in their attachment, while nice pieces, have been made for many years and in recent years often directed at those who travel.
The larger axe head is a beauty and shows skill in its polishing and shaping. The smaller one is made from a less common material. Very nice pieces,

Regards, Ian.
