Description
Native American, North America, Eastern Woodland, ca. 200 to 1000 CE. A fine hand-knapped chert stone tool with a rounded top and flat base. Presenting with a deep shade of reddish taupe, the ancient implement boasts two convex faces, which are flaked to form a sharp edge. The process for shaping this tool involved hitting a harder stone against the chert to flake or knap the surface into the desired form. Knapped stone tools such as this piece had a variety of uses such as axe heads, scrapers for cleaning hides, and digging for agricultural purposes. Lucite stand for photography purposes only. Size: 4.25" L x 2.2" W (10.8 cm x 5.6 cm)
