Neolithic flint/agate Large Neolithic 'Tilemsi' spire (No Reserve Price)

Deze grote spits kon dienst doen als lansspits en werd eerst ontdekt in Oost-Mali en heeft daarom ook zijn specifieke naam 'tilemsi-spits'. Hoewel de naam refereert naar een streek in Mali komt dit object uit Niger. De spits werd gemaakt uit een vuursteen die eerst werd opgewarmd alvorens hem te bewerken. Op die manier kon men afslagen bekomen die relatief lang en recht waren. De punt werd fijn geretoucheerd. Ook de basis werd fijn geretoucheerd en de spits is erg dun. In perfecte staat, geen restauraties. Afmetingen 110 x 31 mm Elk verkocht lot wordt voorzien van een echtheidscertifikaat Provenance/herkomst: The seller can prove that the lot was obtained legally, provenance statement seen by Catawiki. De aanbieder kan aantonen dat het lot op legale wijze is verkregen. Het kavel is afkomstig uit een Belgische collectie.

Neolithic flint/agate Large Neolithic 'Tilemsi' spire (No Reserve Price)

This large point could serve as a spear point and was first discovered in Eastern Mali and therefore has its specific name 'tilemsi point'. Although the name refers to a region in Mali, this object comes from Niger. The point was made from a flint that was first heated before being worked. In this way, flakes could be obtained that were relatively long and straight. The point was finely retouched. The base was also finely retouched and the point is very thin.
In perfect condition, no restorations.
