Item Details

Description

Northern Africa, Sahara Desert, Neolithic period, ca. 6000 to 3500 BCE. An attractive and nicely proportioned tool used for skinning and slicing, hand-knapped from dark green flint. The ovoid tool has smooth surfaces and a uniformly sharp cutting edge. During this time period, weather conditions called the Neolithic Subpluvial meant that the Sahara was a green, fertile landscape; cultures that produced rock art flourished during this time period. The people who lived here had plentiful game to hunt and lived in a place with savannahs and woodlands in which they could have a sustainable hunter-gatherer lifestyle. These people also produced some of the oldest pottery in the world and, from about 5000 BCE, had domesticated cattle, sheep, and goats. Size: 2.6" W x 3.4" H (6.6 cm x 8.6 cm); 6" H (15.2 cm) on included custom stand.

Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection; ex-private German collection
