AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Neolithic flint chisel. Look carefully at the photos, especially the back of the chisel
5000-2000 BC
11.5 cm x 1.7 cm x 1.4 cm
I bought the chisel around 2000 from an auction house in Germany.
From my fifteenth year until my seventieth, I built a large collection of Bronze and Stone Age objects in all shapes, including Bronze Age jewelry. All from Western Europe and bought from private individuals, at auctions, collectible markets, antique shops, and sometimes received. I am now 84 and it is time to say goodbye to my collection.
I do not have authenticity certificates or receipts for the objects and can only say that I obtained the objects legally.
If in doubt, please do not buy.
Note!
I do not ship outside Europe
