This incredible tool is truly atypical
The red side has been knapped with large chips, while the ocher has been more finely retouched
The rounded tip has also been finely retouched. The presence of cortex on the back gives it a good grip
Very nice patina with beautiful red, ocher and caramel colors
Collected in the middle of the 20th century
