- Lot Description
Native American, United States, Eastern Woodland, ca. 200 to 1000 CE. A handsome collection of 5 hand-knapped stone arrowheads, expertly made from chert and obsidian. The largest is made from a smokey beige chert with a needle point tip and a neck with downward pointing fins. The next two are similarly shaped with a tapered blades with fins. One has a shiny brick-red hue, likely chert, and the other has nearly translucent edges with a yellow amber shade, and it may be a type of obsidian. Next is a translucent stone with tiny serrated edges, and a notched neck. The skill to create the serrated edges on such a small area took great skill and patience! The last arrowhead is made from a black obsidian with nearly translucent edges. Chert and obsidian were prized for their lovely opaque and translucent qualities. The process for shaping these points involved hitting a harder stone against the surface to flake or knap these arrowheads into the desired form. These pretty pieces may have had ritualistic and ceremonial use, rather than utilitarian, and caches of similar arrowheads have been found buried in mounds. Size of largest: 2.125" L x 1.5" W (5.4 cm x 3.8 cm); small black: .93" L x .5" W (2.4 cm x 1.3 cm)
Provenance: private Fayetteville, Arkansas, USA collection; ex-Dr. David Harner collection, Springdale, Arkansas, USA, acquired between the 1950s and 1960s
