- Lot Description
**Originally Listed At $300**
Native American, United States, Archaic to Woodland period, ca. 3000 to 1200 BP (1000 BCE to 800 CE). A collection of 11 stone tools and preforms from across North America. Included are 5 celts, an axe, 3 hoes, a pendant, and a pounding tool or pestle. The pendant is unfinished and one of the hoes is also in a preform state. The blade tools could be hafted onto a pole or handle with a sinew cord or used as hand tools. Metallurgy such as casting and smelting was unknown in most of North America. While copper was used by some eastern cultures, it was labor intensive and hammered thus making the pieces more brittle and susceptible to breaking. Stone was much stronger than unalloyed copper and was the choice material for tools like these. Size of largest: 5.75" L x 4.5" W (14.6 cm x 11.4 cm); case: 14.5" L x 2.125" W x 13.25" H (36.8 cm x 5.4 cm x 33.7 cm)
Provenance: private Fayetteville, Arkansas, USA collection; ex-Charles (Charlie) Meyer collection, noted collector and famed illustrator for Greg Perino, famed authenticator and writer.
All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids.
