This neolithic Greek axe head is believed to a sacrificial or votive item given as an offering to the Gods of ancient Greece. It is a museum quality example of an ancient Greek sacrificial piece that would have been used as an offering to the Gods at an oracle or temple. It may have also been a ritual tomb object that would be offered to the Gods. This 100% original and authentic small axe(also called a celt) dates to the early Greek or Macedonian period.

Antique Ancient Neolithic Eastern European Stone Votive Female Figurine
Antique(possibly ancient) small votive statue You are bidding on what I believe to be an antique and possibly ancient votive statue of a slightly exaggerated female. This statue has some extremely interesting features and has some similar aspects to Steatopygous female figures. ca 4500–4000 b.c) but I have no way to prove or disprove its age or culture- all I can say is they are very attractive and obviously hand carved. The stone(likely marble) measures 2.075" tall and weighs 1.60 ounces and has a hole drilled in one knee where a display post once was. Shipping is a flat $8 via USPS

Neolithic bone arrow head. C 3500 BC. 72 mm long. 26 mm wide. 3 mm thick. Piece of bone shaped as an arrow head.

It is complete and undamaged and has a wonderful natural glossy patina from being handled. Please feel free to ask questions about any of my items. You will get an honest reply. Authenticity is naturally guaranteed but if there is any problem please let me know and it will be resolved. Will combine postage for multiple purchases.
