Neolithic Agate Flint Foliate Arrowhead – 3 cm | Ténéré, Mali

A Real Little Jewel from the SaharaThis museum-quality foliate-shaped arrowhead is a fine and relatively rare example of Neolithic lithic artistry. Knapped from beautifully zoned agate flint, it features significant 3 cm denticulation and an exceptionally refined retouch — a typology seldom encountered in this condition.Specimen Details Material: Agate flint (silex) Length: 3 cm Period: Neolithic, c. 5200–2500 BCE Form: Foliate-shaped arrowhead with significant denticulation — a relatively rare typology Retouch: Beautiful quality of retouching throughout Patina: Beautiful desert patina Provenance: Africa — Mali, Ténéré region Collection history: From an old private French collection, purchased at auction, France, 1950s Why This Piece Stands OutThe foliate form with pronounced denticulation is among the more uncommon Neolithic point typologies, making this a genuinely distinctive acquisition. Its desert patina, zoned agate flint material, and well-documented 1950s French provenance make it an outstanding piece for serious prehistoric artefact collectors, natural history displays, and cabinets of curiosities.Each specimen is unique.
