AUS Aboriginal hand axe

[Tim Simmons]

Not strictly a weapon but we are interested in all forms of ethnographic cutting implements? If somebody surprised you at your camp and this was all that was at hand as a weapon, it could make a mess of the strangers face and head. Still to arrive. I show it with some other professional pictures from "A Record in Stone, The Study of Australia's Flaked Stone Artefacts, museum Victoria Aboriginal Studies Press, Simon Holdaway and Nicola Stern".
