c.60,000-40,000 B.C. An excellent Paleolithic Mousterian (Neanderthal) "Levallois" flint knife found in the early part of the 20th Century at the famous Neanderthal site of Peyzac Le Moustier, in the Dordogne, France and from an old French lithic collection. Formed from a large triangulated flint flake struck from a prepared flint core with further retouching along both edges to hone and sharpen them, blade edges still fairly sharp; a well defined medial ridge along the upper surface of blade, largely smooth on underside. Small area of original pebble cortex remaining on grip end of blade. Old ink inscription on upper surface citing "LES FERELIES PAYZAC". Totally intact and in lovely condition with an attractive old collection patina, a nice example of its type, 82mm long x 58mm wide x 20mm at thickest point
