AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Authentic Neolithic spearhead. Slender, milky-white, arrow-shaped with traces of ancient manual handiwork. Thin and symmetrical spearhead with a very sharp edge, evidencing high manufacturing precision.
* Era: Neolithic
* Age: 4500 - 7200 years
* Material: Flint
* Color: Light gray shade with a sandy patina
* Technique: Pressure retouch, bidirectional retouch
* Dimensions: length 44 mm, width 16 mm (excluding the tang)
* Condition: Very good with a delicate patina
* Region: Ténéré
Although the earth for millennia hid it in darkness, today it can be worn again – this time as a talisman in memory of the dawn of humanity’s civilization.
Museum-quality!
I include a leather cord with the pendant.
