Paleolithic Flint Hand axe - 7 cm (No Reserve Price)

A robust Paleolithic core tool (chopper) made on a large river pebble of flint/chert. The piece shows a clearly defined worked cutting/striking edge, created through controlled removal of several large flakes. The opposite side retains its original cortex, a typical feature of early core-tool technology. Visible are negative flake scars, impact points and a preserved patina consistent with long-term burial. No modern damage or restoration. Export licence: Not required for this object within the EU. Provenance: Found in the Netherlands (river terrace). Later part of a private collection in the Netherlands. Shipping method: Securely packed in bubble wrap and shipped as a tracked small parcel.
