AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Museum-quality! Magnificent lot of 3 arrowheads in colored flint, authentic Neolithic remains. From the Tenere region. Arrowheads of very high quality and fine craftsmanship. In very good condition. Varied shapes in beautiful materials. Very fine retouching showing the dexterity and talent of the prehistoric artisan. These arrowheads are tiny jewels of craftsmanship. Beautiful desert patina.
Three different typologies. A beautiful leaf-shaped point with very fine retouching in a multicolored material. One with fins and a peduncle and denticulated edge in a very beautiful orange material. And the last with large fins and a peduncle, a rather rare form. A rare piece in very good condition.
Length: from 2.7 cm to 4.7 cm.
Provenance: Africa, Mali-Ténéré. The lot comes from an old private collection purchased at auction.
