Do you know any basic info. on this piece? If it is Native American, it's a museum piece. That's all I know!! Nice looking piece!

Well something as important as that I wouldn't be able to give a guess on it from the view of my comp. That would have to be looked at in hand with a scope. Looks like a Monolithic Ax type but I did say looks. Like everyone else lets here some details on it, rock

will post more pics tonight. as close up as possible.

Need more info, the bit or blade looks like a celt. Is it stone or iron?

 

[rock]

You could do some close ups but the fact is I or anyone else would have to examine it in hand. There is something you have to look for to be sure it isn't a reproduction piece. Did you find it or buy it? What state? Stone or metal? Those are the type of answers we need before anyone could know.

I keep coming back to this thread, hoping someone has provided something. Still nada! Just my 2 cents here.... my very worthless 2 cents. The engraving on the handle seems to lack patina, does it not? I can't help but believe this is an old piece. However, I don't think it's prehistoric "old". I have a Celt with a bird engraved on it. My Celt is authentic, the bird... I sorta doubt. I have heard engraving native artifacts was popular in the 1800's. I have a gut feeling this piece was made by someone that enjoyed altering authentic artifacts, back in those days. I hope I'm wrong, and probably am. Good luck. I'll keep popping in to see what others say.

HyHoSilver, what area of the US did you find this? you said it was part of a bigger collection, was it a local collection or did the person collect from all over? more info would help all of us.

this is what I found

The Southeastern Monolithic Axe

On another page i found that There are only 28 documented pieces but hundreds of replicas in the market.

when i say soapstone i mean steatite , try googling "Steatite Hatchet"
