Description from the seller
Set of 9 authentic Neolithic arrowheads in argillite.
Very beautiful aged patina from the desert.
Beautiful and fine retouching and typical shapes.

These points are aesthetic and of great finesse.
Dimensions: from 1.7 cm to 3.6 cm
Provenance: Niger.
Points collected in the 1950s.
The lot comes from a private collection.
