Neolithic artifact
(How I obtained it)
Gorgeous specimen of ancient stone-masonry, taken in all-time beach-, bridge- and warhead Nafpaktos ! It revealed (<=> I regained), hardly the great Christmas Flood Tide, - Peloponnesian TV-stations reported it as almost a deluge -,  had withdrawn.  Arc of Deucalion had stranded, - probably a few days ago-, ashore the left side of river Evino on December 26th 1997.

Neolithic hatchet
(stringax) of Nafpaktos
(Ancient archaeological artifact presented for 1000 €)
stringax of Nafpaktos
The above presented blade is not a natureshaped jasper gemstone, but an ancient archaeological (probably neolithic) artifact ("STRINGAXE"): It has been purposely produced by extraneous agency. This statement I try to demonstrate with three reasons:
Click to enlarge!
1. The  outstanding silhouette under the  brilliantly illuminating sky of Nafpaktos displays the striking and hinting observation: Mr Jasper 's erecting pinnacle is slightly more somber, - seems even to be  ensanguined. Doesn 't it look like a glans?
2. You see he's got the potency to stand upright like a man, and seeing  him pridely standing  there you will believe me, with a little bit help from friendly manipulation he formerly rocked  like a tumbling figure maintaining longtimestandingly its free swinging  equilibrium ("contra-post") before the flowing resonance between kinetic ("Dionysus") and potential ("Apollo") energy came to a sudden, terminal catastrophe.  - But now the arc is not yet so steady and steadfast in that discipline, because the scars of the strings that once yoked together hilt and hatchet obstruct this movement, but cannot totally block it...   :-)

3. These pictures (click to see the handsome  jpg-picture above with higher resolution!) should let you recognize that the upperside shows lapidated relics of the lengthy (must have been about half the length of the whole object at the base of the edge-tool) handle, the underside shows tracks of the strings that were engraved into this gemstone by frequent use,  because they connected the about one pound heavy edge closely and tightly together with its handle.
