This collection celebrates human ingenuity through the earliest form of technology: stone tools. Over two million years ago, before Homo sapiens, our ancestors began shaping stone for future use, a defining step in human evolution. The collection includes three pieces: a flint arrowhead hafted into oak, which Victoria made by flintknapping, the ancient technique of striking stone to form tools, echoing Neolithic craftsmanship. Accompanying this are representations of a hammerstone, an essential in toolmaking, and a reindeer antler, used to refine stone tools through pressure napping. Together, they honor the creativity and skill of early humans and the origins of innovation.
