Item Details
Description
**First Time At Auction**

Native American, Southern to Eastern United States, Eastern Woodland / Mississippian culture, ca 1000 to 1500 CE. A hand-knapped tool with two broad, convex faces made from a light brown chert stone. The narrow tip is likely the cutting edge, and the wider end is possibly the handle or butt end. The peripheries are flaked and sharp as well. This blade may have been a hand tool or attached to a wooden handle as an adze and likely served a variety of purposes, such as chopping, scraping, and digging. Knapping tools required patience and skill to create the desired shape without shattering the stone. This is a nice end large example of the form! Size: 5.25" L x 2.25" W (13.3 cm x 5.7 cm)

Provenance: private southwestern Pennsylvania, USA collection, acquired prior to 2000
