===The original certificate will be sent to the purchaser by email===

Heavy patina of use on its surface. Rare object!

===Seller's note=== Whether they are arrowheads, spearheads, axes and hafted axes, all these forged iron objects were protected by animal grease by the ethnic groups to whom these objects belonged, to protect them from oxidation.
All my iron-containing objects have been ''cleaned'' by me, by electrolysis. A process that does not affect the metal at all, while restoring its original appearance as it was when made.

IMPORTANT FOR U.S. BIDDERS
- Due to the significant restrictions imposed by U.S. Customs on imports (high customs fees for both the sender and the recipient, as well as extensive administrative paperwork), I regret to inform potential bidders from the United States that I will no longer be able to ship items purchased at auction to them.
Thank you to our American friends for refraining from bidding on my items until relations between our governments return to normal.
