#171430Repair to 1 awl, and losses to areas of the 3 remaining awls. Minor nicks and chips to some arrowheads commensurate with age. Great preservation to overall forms. The 2 largest points are adhered to the white backing within the Riker box. A label on the bottom of the Riker box lid reads, "Museum of National Indian Affairs | Washington, D.C." though there is no indication that any of these items indeed came from that museum.Condition
