Neolithic Multicolour Agate Flint Leaf-Shaped Arrowhead – 4.9 cm | Ténéré, Mali

A True Little Jewel — With a Geological Surprise

This exceptional museum-quality arrowhead is among the finest foliaceous leaf-shaped points from the Neolithic Sahara. At 4.9 cm, it is knapped from beautifully multicoloured, zoned agate flint — and uniquely features a small natural geode at the base, revealed by a minor recent flake that clearly highlights the contrast between the ancient desert patina and the raw interior material beneath.

Why This Piece Stands Out

The combination of multicoloured zoned agate, a naturally occurring geode inclusion, and the striking desert patina makes this arrowhead a genuinely one-of-a-kind specimen. Its size, material quality, and geological character elevate it beyond a typical prehistoric point — an outstanding centrepiece for any serious prehistoric artefact collection, natural history display, or cabinet of curiosities.

Each specimen is unique. The piece you receive will match the listing image.
