- Lot Description
Native American, United States, Plains Tribes, ca. 18th to 19th century CE; North America, United States, ca. 18th to 19th century CE. A collection of 3 iron and stone axe heads, each hafted on a wooden handle. The largest axe is made by P. Garcia, and stamped on the blade with "PG" above the full name (slightly rubbed and faint) is an anvil. The cylindrical socket is hafted onto a polished wooden handle. The other iron axe has a slender head and a weathered handle and heavy patina. The Native American made axe features a three-quarter groove stone axe head, so called for the groove (covered by the deer leather cord) that enables the stone to be hafted to a handle - perfectly exemplified by this tool. Stone axes such as this were in use for thousands of years before the widespread availability of iron from Europeans. Size of largest: 22" L x 6" W (55.9 cm x 15.2 cm)
Provenance: private Burlington, North Carolina, USA collection; ex-A to Z Auctions; ex-James Pratley estate, Galveston, Texas, USA before 2000
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.
