AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Ancient Egypt, superb alabaster ceremonial mace from the Tinite Period (2900–2593 BC), with wooden shaft and stand.
Acquired from the Spanish private collection of S.V.S. in 1980.
- The piece comes with a certificate of authenticity and a Spanish export license (European Union passport).
IMPORTANT: Due to new laws governing the export of archaeological objects, we have decided NO LONGER to sell to the following destinations outside Europe: SWITZERLAND and the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
For other destinations outside Europe, all items will be shipped once a definitive export license has been obtained from Spain’s Ministry of Culture. Please note that this process may take approximately 4–8 weeks. Under Spanish law, items shipped outside the European Union are subject to export taxes. These taxes will be added to the invoice and are payable by the buyer. Export fees are calculated based on the final auction price. The tax rate is not applied directly to the total value of the item being exported; instead, the following rates apply to the relevant price brackets:
Up to 6,000 euros: 5%. / From 6,001 to 60,000 euros: 10%.
Please note that shipping to distant destinations (Asia, the Middle East, etc.) will incur an additional charge.
