- Lot Description
Native American, central United States, Ohio, Tuscarawas County, Hopewell culture, Middle Woodland period, ca. 100 BCE to 400 CE. A beautiful example of a trapezoidal celt pendant carved from a fragment of sage-green glacial slate with integral banding in hues of cream and beige. The pendant has a stocky body with notches along the top and rightmost edge and a biconically drilled suspension hole bored through the midsection. The verso is adorned with an incised ladder-form design that curves slightly before terminating just above the suspension hole. The design of this pendant suggests that it was perhaps repurposed from a fragment of a much larger amulet or gorget pendant. Smooth surface textures can be felt across all surfaces. Size: 3.7" L x 2.3" W (9.4 cm x 5.8 cm)
For a similar example and additional information on this type of celt, please see the Ohio History Connection Selections, AV 17, Box 3, Folder 4, Envelope 1.
