Axes were also used to prepare different parts of the animals they killed. They would butcher the meat and prepare the skins. They could also use them to dig up different things when needed. When needed, they were used as a weapon. Provenance: Private UK Collection. Danish collection, 1950s-1990s. Private Belgium collection between 1997-2007; then sold to a British collector.
