Lot Description

North America, United States, Civil War Era, ca. 1860s CE; Native American, Southern United States, Alabama, Woodland tribes, ca. 100 to 1500 CE. A fine collection of Native American stone arrowheads and iron cannonball, musket balls, bullets, and brass buttons from the American Civil War. The cannonball is a hefty 16.8 lb. (7.6 Kg) but was likely heavier due to some surface erosion. There are 2 musket balls, 3 lead rifle bullets - each with a conical profile and incised grooves, and 2 brass eagle buttons from a Union soldier's jacket. These bullets, buttons, and musket balls are displayed in a modern glass Riker case. The 5 arrowheads are hand knapped from gray and beige chert stones into several different types of notched and stemmed bifacial points. All were collected in Alabama and are displayed in a modern wood and glass case. A fantastic ensemble from before European contact and from one of the most pivotal periods in American history! Size (Riker case): 6.125" L x 5.125" W (15.6 cm x 13 cm); (cannonball): Size: 5" Diameter (12.7 cm); weight: 16.8 lb.

Provenance: ex-Stein collection, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, USA, acquired prior to 2010
