EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an ancient artifact that takes us back in time to the Neolithic period. The focal point of the image is a meticulously crafted axe head, made from polished green stone, dating back to 4500-2500 BC. With a length of 19.2 cm, this remarkable piece resides in a private collection and has been beautifully captured by photographer eHeini Schneebeli. The axe head's smooth surface and vibrant color evoke a sense of awe and admiration for the skillful craftsmanship of our ancestors. It serves as a tangible reminder of their resourcefulness and ingenuity during an era when tools were essential for survival. As we gaze upon this relic, we are transported to an era where humans relied on stone implements like this one for various purposes - whether it be hunting, building shelters, or cultivating land for sustenance. This versatile tool was not only used as a weapon but also played a crucial role in domestic tasks. It is important to note that this historical artifact should not be confused with any modern-day company or commercial use; rather it represents an invaluable glimpse into our European Stone Age heritage. Through images like these preserved by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we can appreciate the rich history that lies behind such seemingly ordinary objects – reminding us of our shared human story across millennia.
