Product Description
The vast majority of flake tools from the Neolithic of Capsian Tradition of Africa are a fraction of the size of this massive example! This is one of only a handful of flake tools this size we have ever seen in 31 years of handling this material. This is one of THE FINEST examples of a large Capsian Neolithic handled pick. It was made from tabular flint and is complete with ingenious design and flaking to the large flint piece. The pick has an amazingly well-designed grip for holding, and an expertly flaked curved point. It shows amazing satin white patina from wear and wind polishing. The narrow tip could have been used for digging or even a weapon.
You could not ask for more impressive and top grade specimen from this African Neolithic culture! Of the highest degree workmanship, complete and intact.
