Description from the seller
Lot of 9 authentic Neolithic argillite arrowheads.
Very fine, lustrous desert patina.
Beautiful, delicate retouching and typical shapes.
The material of these points has often been mistaken for fossilized wood due to the successive layers that can be observed. In fact, these are the stratigraphic layers of the sedimentary deposits that fossilized.
These points are aesthetic and of notable fineness.
Dimensions: from 2.3 cm to 3.5 cm
Provenance: Niger.
Points collected in the 1950s.
The lot comes from a private collection.
ATTENTION: NO SHIPMENT TO THE UNITED STATES.
GROUP shipping costs if multiple purchases.

The seller will take care of obtaining the necessary authorizations.
The seller will inform the buyer if this takes more than a few days.
