This is one of the most unusual and beautiful Mousterian African handaxes we have ever offered. It is a must for any advanced collection, without question. The form and execution of this extraordinary handaxe must be held to be appreciated. Unlike their much larger predecessors of the Sahara during the Acheulian, Mousterian handaxes are much smaller in comparison. This rare specimen displays all edges as originally made and without modern damage. This axe possesses natural desert wind erosion along with wind gloss - traits of an authentic Paleolithic Saharan artifact caused by long-term exposure for millennia. In "as found" ORIGINAL condition with NO REPAIR AND NO RESTORATION.
