Long Description
This has been described as a heavy hammer or a celt. It was found in North East Ohio in Southern Geauga County or Northern Portage County. I have seen axes simular to this, as well as celts with no ring, and think it is probably many hundreds - if not thousands of years old.
History
This was found in an area that many war type weapons were also found, it may be a hammer shaped stone fashioned to be part of a club.
