Papua Axe Stone / Flower Stone Axe Head

Papua axe stones are remarkable artifacts crafted by the indigenous peoples of Papua New Guinea. These stones, often fashioned from dense volcanic or metamorphic rock like basalt or greenstone, possess a distinctive double-edged axe shape. One side features a sharp cutting edge, while the other may be blunt or pointed.

These tools were crucial in traditional Papua New Guinean societies for various tasks like land clearing, construction, and crafting other implements. Crafting axe stones involved laborious processes of grinding, shaping, and polishing the stone to achieve the desired form and sharpness.
