Description from the seller
Neolithic battle axe in good condition
Timeline 4000-2000 BC
Dimensions 9.0 cm x 5.0 cm x 4.0 cm
In the late 1970s obtained from an inheritance from a good friend of my father.
From my fifteenth year until my seventieth year I have built a large collection of Bronze and Stone Age objects in all kinds of shapes, including Bronze Age jewelry. All from Western Europe and purchased from private individuals, at auctions, collectors' markets, antique shops and sometimes received. I am now 86 and it is time to part with my collection.
I do not have authenticity certificates or invoices for the objects and I can only say that I obtained the objects legally.
If in doubt, please do not buy.
Attention!!!!
I do not ship outside the European Union. The Canary Islands are also excluded.
