AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Tiny axe with decoration from the Late Bronze Age. In good condition but slightly corroded.
1200-800 BC
6.5 cm × 4 cm × 2 cm

Purchased around 1975 at an antique market in Amsterdam (Netherlands)


From the time I was fifteen until I was seventy, I built up a large collection of Bronze Age and Stone Age objects in all kinds of shapes, including terracotta pots and urns from the Bronze Age. All of them from Western Europe and bought from private individuals, at auctions, collectors' markets, antique shops, and sometimes given. I am now 85 and it is time to part with my collection.

I have no authenticity certificates or receipts for the items, and I can only say that I obtained the items legally.

Attention!!!
I don't ship outside Europe.
