NORDIC BROWN FLINT PERCUSSION FLAKED CORE AXE

The base is perpendicular to its long axis and produces an overall pyramid shaped pointed axe. The upper sides bear parallel flake scars where microlith blanks have been removed. Large areas of a smooth chalky white cortex create a wonderfully sculptural shape.
