Hand Axe From Homo Heidelbergensis. This extremely large 6 inch x 3.25 inch hand axe is from the Achelean and is between 120,000 to 300,000 years old. It was sculpted out of stone by an archaic Homo species such as Homo heidelbergensis that may have been one of the direct ancestors of Homo sapiens. This large heavy hand axe probably had multiple uses, from cutting meat to use as a weapon. This 6 inch medium brown hand axe was chiseled by hand by an early homo species to form a sharp point, sharp edges and flat side that fits perfectly in the palm of the hand. These hand axes may have been made over a period of thousands of years and were found in the Western Sahara Desert. This is a rare and interesting early human artifact that shows that the early human hand was similar in size and shape to our own. Comes with a 5 inch illusion stand for display.
