Item Details
Description
**Originally Listed At $450**

Native American, United States, Eastern Woodland, ca. 200 to 1000 CE. An interesting gathering of 21 stone tools for drilling or carving. Stone drills came in a variety of forms as exemplified with this collection. The drills with a wider end are known as key drills, and the wide end could be hafted onto a wooden handle for better gripping. The smaller drills have a simpler form, featuring just a narrow shaft or a sharpened fragment of stone. Some drills were made from exhausted arrow or spear tips, while others were knapped from raw pieces into the desired shape. Drills were used for carving wood, shell, bones, or other stones to form holes and openings for beads, pipes, or other tools. Size of case: 10" L x .75" W x 12" H (25.4 cm x 1.9 cm x 30.5 cm); largest drill: 3.675" L x 1.25" W (9.3 cm x 3.2 cm)

Provenance: private Fayetteville, Arkansas, USA collection; ex-Charles (Charlie) Meyer collection, noted collector and famed illustrator for Greg Perino, famed authenticator and writer
