    A lot of these hand axes may have had some kind of not-strictly-functional purpose during their heydey in the stone ages as well. Heaps of them show no evidence of wear or use and are noticably gorgeous - just really pleasingly shaped.

        Kind of like modern pickup trucks

        Except nice to look at, yep!

        Pick ups seem like a great example because they are so often a status/identify token.

          I also don’t find them particularly good looking, but their owners sure do!

          I like identity token for trucks that never see truck use.
