c.200,000 - 150,000 B.C. A large and excellent Mid Paleolithic flint flake hand saw found on the foreshore of the River Orwell, Ipswich, Suffolk and from a old Suffolk collection. Fashioned from a large flake of banded black and honey coloured flint; a largely smooth underside but well worked on upper surface to form a wide thin blade edge which has then been re-worked to further enhance and denticulate it. Totally intact and in lovely condition with attactive colouration, good surface ageing and a most appealing shiny patina, an excellent early hand saw tool from a notable area, 55mm across saw blade, 55mm deep and 15mm at thickest
