AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Original artifact from the Neolithic period. Handcrafted from light flint, carefully retouched and formed into a slender, leaf-shaped form. Museum quality!
* Era: Neolithic
* Age: 4500 - 7200 years
* Material: Flint
* Color: milky with a rusty patina
* Technique: bifacial technique with pressure retouch
* Dimensions: length 58 mm, width 17 mm, (excluding the wrap)
* Condition: Excellent
* Region: Ténéré
Each such grot was once part of an arrow or a small spear used for hunting and combat. Today, mounted with a golden aluminum wire into a pendant form, it becomes a distinctive amulet – a symbol of strength, endurance, and a connection to ancient history.
This is not just jewelry, but an authentic fragment of the past you can wear always by your side.
I attach a leather cord to the pendant.
