Item Details
Description
Made in Mali near the Tenere Desert, but purportedly found in the Faiyum Valley of Egypt, dating to about 7000 to 5000 BC. Knapped stone implement. Egypt has a very rich Palaeolithic past, dating from the Lower Paleolithic. The Faiyum has a fundamentally important role to play in developing an understanding of Egyptian prehistory. As well as a distinctive Epipalaeolithic industry, it has some of the earliest evidence in Egypt of agricultural activities. 4-1/2"H x 1-3/4"W, 178g. Custom stand.

Provenance: Ex-private Chicago, IL collection.
