Peter Reynaers

Roughly finished hand ax from the ancient Saharan Homo erectus tribes that used to live in the time the area still had water and large game to hunt. They lived in a very different landscape as today with much more animals and competition with other tribes. 

Early two-sided use type, rough technique making use of the original shape of the stone, nice pale desert patina. Perfect condition, no recent nor old damages. 

Collectors item originating from a very strong and successful ancestral tribe!

Estimated 8500.000-990.000 y old, in perfect shape and no recent damages.
