Remarks

Large sickle blade made of Chalcedon (identification by A. Karakhanyan). Typically such EB blades are of flint, but this does not look like flint. Stone is rougher in texture and an unusual color that appears under a hand loupe like oxidation. Blade is worked on all surfaces and edges. One edge, slightly indented, shows some signs of sickle sheen.
