Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Mexico City, Mexico, ca. 1000 to 1500 CE. Perhaps the second or third best examples of an obsidian core we have seen - including examples in several museums! Black volcanic glass looking a bit like the Graf Zeppelin, with 14 distinct ridges created from the removal of micro blades. These blades were used as very sharp knives and razors and are as sharp or sharper than modern surgical steel. Size: 7-1/8"L x 1-5/8"W.

Provenance: Ex P. Davis via descent, acquired between 1985 and 1995

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.
