AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Paleolithic bailer jewelry from the Mendik culture

This piece is old, authentic, and crafted with Stone Age techniques.

Because these Cymbium snail shells were traded from the coast of the Papua Gulf over great distances (old trade routes), they are a very valuable possession in this remote highland region and are sold only reluctantly.

Length: 16 cm, height: 12 cm

No shipping to Austria, Denmark + USA!!!
