[One of a group of] Various worked Flints made at Valona, Albania; various sizes (from 1 in to 1 3/4 in long); all rectangular and of special type; finely chipped all over the surface, and with a sharp striking-edge all round, unlike the western-European type; two of them partly enclosed in ornamental sheaths of thin cast lead, probably to prevent wear to pocket or pouch. Albania.
