This is the rating and price for Percussion Flaked Knife

Description : Egypt, late Pre-Dynastic, ca. 3200 BCE. This is a percussion flaked knife with a curved blade edge and a straight back edge, made of a brown-grey chert often used in ancient Egypt. At one time, it may have had a handle of gilded material or something perishable -- for example, the Pitt Rivers Museum Egyptian flint knife has a decorated ivory handle, as does the Gebel el-Arak knife held by the Louvre. Blades of ceremonial knives like those examples and this one are uniformly made of this particular colored chert, which some researchers have interpreted to be an emulation of the color of metal. Comes with custom stand.
