This is a carefully worked pair of Neolithic Knives, from the Tenerean culture, c. 4000-2500 B.C. Made from flint with a distinctive reddish-brown colouring, collected in the Tenere area of the Sahara, a vast tract of land between Niger, Mali and Algeria. Found in open sites where the weathering has made the habitations rise to the surface of the desert. Provenance: From an old German collection. The artefact has no modern or old damage. The artefacts are in very fine condition (still relatively sharp) and measures 74mm and 71mm long.
Price: £40.00
