Includes:
- one Chocolate Flint Hand Axe
- one Chocolate Roman Bronze Lappet
These were replicated from genuine ancient archaeological finds. Pieces so fine that the British Museum would have been proud to add them to their collection I'm sure.
Flint Hand Axe is aged somewhere between 300,000 - 400,000 BC. The original was made from a creamy steal colour flint so the white version is quite a close copy.
Roman Bronze Lappet, Circa. 1st-2nd Century
An extraordinary bronze fragment from a statue of a Roman Emperor. It is a particularly beautiful depiction of the Greco-Egyptian god, Zeus- or Jupiter-Ammon. The lappet was part of a row of metal tongue-shaped ornaments, or pteryges, hinged onto the lower edge of the cuirass.
Many thanks to the Antiquities dealer who lent these items and who wishes to remain private.

European delivery:
- Sadly, since Brexit, fees are involved when exporting goods from the UK to the EU. The fees differ in each country and are impossible to calculate until we have: your desired order, the full shipping address, phone number and email address of recipient.
Calculating the fees is so arduous that I currently do not offer shipping to the EU as standard.
However, if you email me with all this info and have a little patience then I shall figure it out for you because you are clearly committed!
