Item Details
Description
Native American, Southern United States, Arkansas, Mississippi County, Mississippian culture, ca 1000 to 1500 CE. A hand-knapped stone tool, convex on both sides and exhibiting a flat, square base and two gently projecting wings that then narrow to a sharp point. Knapping tools required patience and skill to create the desired shape without shattering the stone. This skillfully knapped tool may have been designed to mount on a wooden handle and likely served a variety of purposes. Please note that Lucite stand is for photography purposes only. Size: 5.75" L x 2" W (14.6 cm x 5.1 cm)

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