Burt Sexual posted:This looks like it was stolen from a museum. Backstory? a very large percentage of these kinds of artifacts get into the private market. depending on where it is from it might have been illegal to sell it or remove it from the country. though it could just be a family heirloom passed down from generation to generation since 1550BC

Pickwick High posted:It was bought from a dealer in 1975 that's all I know  thats a very convenient year to have on that Canaanite artifact, considering Israeli law forbids the sale of any artifact unearthed after 1978

Top Hats Monthly posted:It is less "gun safe" and more the fact I don't have a good place to store it at the moment and don't just want it hanging in the open. If someone stole it and tried to operate it I would be very impressed. you could probably make a superior weapon with a metal tube from the hardware store and an electric BBQ lighter

Myron Baloney posted:I got my son a nice Saharan handaxe, on the one hand I feel bad about the immense number of artifacts from that part of the world getting sold in bulk but on the other it is really inspiring to handle it and think about human creativity and craft at work something like 300,000 years ago. don't feel bad about owning neolithic handaxes. those things are as common as dirt. people made new handaxes all the time and then just threw them away instead of carrying it around
