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

A Real Little Jewel from the Sahara

This 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 Out

The 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. The piece you receive will match the listing image.
