AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Unique Neolithic Flint Adze / Spear Point (20 cm) – Lutzhöft (Germany)
A beautiful and authentic prehistoric artifact from the Neolithic (the New Stone Age, circa 3500 BCE), originating from the Schleswig-Holstein region, northern Germany.
This impressive tool testifies to exceptional craftsmanship and is presumably attributable to the prehistoric Funnelbeaker Culture. Given its slender, tapered shape, the object may have served as a large adze, dagger, or spear point.
Important features:
Period: Neolithic (New Stone Age, circa 5500 years old)
Material: High-quality North European flint (silex)
Length: 20 cm (very substantial size)
Provenance: Lutzhöft (near Flensburg), Germany
The object is from a private collection and obtained from an estate.
Purchased in 2019 via auction site Catawiki
Special note: Equipped with an authentic, old collectors’ or museum code in ink: "Fl. Lutzhöft".
This gives the object a documented history and additional collector value. The artifact is in excellent, original condition with beautiful, sharp retouching along the edges. An absolute showpiece for the serious collector of prehistoric and archaeological artifacts.
