Description: This beautiful Monolithic Stone Axe was created from speckled hardstone. It is about 11.125" in length and about 7.125" in width at its widest point. It was originally found in Hispaniola (Island in Caribbean with the current countries of Haiti and Dominican Republic). This axe was created by the Taino culture about 1200-1500 A.D. Axes were objects with different uses: daily use, for war and for religious purposes. The monolithic axes were manufactured from one piece of stone and show important ornamentation. Generally they were used by high hierarchic groups of the Taino society in magic-religious ceremonies.
