✨ And now for something completely out of the box, we designed and developed a 19Kt yellow gold setting for this ancient object.
This is a flint fishtail knife carved in Egypt during the Predynastic Period, dating from approximately 3850 BC to 2960 BC. This object is approximately 5,000 to 5,800 years old.
The ritual function of the fishtail knife, as known in Egyptian archaeology, is closely associated with the concepts of birth, death, and rebirth.
Because they required an extremely complex and refined lithic manufacturing technique, these knives were objects of great prestige, intended exclusively for the social and priestly elite of the time.
