Description: | One face is dark blackish grey (with patina) and the other face is light redish brown.
Almost crescent shaped object. The tool has been chipped all around the edges. One half of the straight ledge is rather thick. The front face retains traces of the original coretex with dips and impurities. The specimen has been reparied from two pieces.
A note in the object box with comments on the Darbishire Collection, describes the implement at a "leaf shaped flint".
Item has been categorised with a Predynastic Period production date, but the note relating to this group of tools says:-
'Opinions as to date:
Forbes - XIIth Dynasty, some possibly IVth Dynasty: but possibly also some much later than XIIth.
Petrie - Prehistoric'
