Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Colima, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. A set of 3 hand-knapped obsidian tools including a pair of slender blades and a thick spear head. The spear head features a pointed tip, sharpened edges, and a notched tail that would be bound to the end of a lengthy wooden shaft. The knapped edges on each of the knife blades are incredibly sharp, likely more so than even today's modern scalpels. Size of largest: 8.875" L x 0.8" W (22.5 cm x 2 cm)

Provenance: ex-Marc Amiguet Schmitt estate, Amiguet's Ancient Art, Evansville, Indiana, USA, acquired prior to January 1, 2010

All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.

A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids.

We ship worldwide to most countries and handle all shipping in-house for your convenience.

Condition

Each piece has small chips not commensurate with knapping, otherwise intact and very good. Great preservation to overall forms and nice translucency.
