Aboriginal Axe Head Mirrool Creek NSW Australia and what it is worth

Aboriginal Axe Head Worth

Aboriginal ground-edge axes are stone chopping tools with cutting edges that were formed by grinding. Ground-edge axes can be found almost anywhere where Aboriginal people camped or lived in Victoria. They may be found near axe-grinding grooves, axe quarries or burial sites.

Characteristics

• ground-edge axes come in different shapes, but they are usually either round or oval. They are sometimes rounded and narrow at one end, and slightly broader and straighter at the cutting edge
• most are 50–200 millimetres long, 40 to 100 millimetres wide and 20 to 60 millimetres thick
• typically ‘lens shaped’ when viewed from the side
• made from hard types of stone, particularly basalt or greenstone, and worn river pebbles
• may have one or more ground cutting edges, and they may be polished smooth all over
• ground surfaces are usually highly polished
• may have a groove pecked around their ‘waist’ so it is easier to attach a handle

Complete axes are rare. It is more common to find smaller, broken, polished fragments.
