ANCIENT EGYPTIAN LARGE FLINT KNIFE
Late Neolithic - Predynastic Period, Ca. 6000 - 3500 BC.A double-edged flaked knife of large size, with handle. Most ancient Egyptian flint knives were used for ritual and household purposes, but some of them were used as weapons too. Due to the knife's large shape and sharp double edges, it appears like it would have been used as a weapon. For a similar example, see Christie's, auction 9832 (April 28, 2004), lot No. 328. Size: 275mm x 70mm; Weight: 575g Provenance: Property of a European collector; previously in the collection of an English Art Gallery in the 2000s; formerly in an English private collection, 1980's. This item has been cleared against the Art Loss Register database and comes with a confirmation letter.
