Rather large lanceolate biface made by H. Erectus from green jasper with an eroded patina. No restorations, in very good condition. Lightly rolled with double patina. The dark (green) part was exposed to the wind erosion for a long time and regained the original colour of the rock. The lighter part has taken on the colour of the sediment in which the artefact was located. In this case, with a high probability a very fine-grained sludge bottom from a paleolac. Minor recent breakage/damage at the bottom of the piece. Each sold lot will be provided with a certificate of authenticity. Provenance/origin: The seller can demonstrate that the lot was obtained legally. The lot comes from a Belgian collection. Important information: The seller guarantees that he is permitted to ship this lot. He will arrange all required permits. Which are needed for the shipping of this lot. If this takes more than a few days and if additional costs apply, the seller will inform the buyer in time.
