Huge Maya Belize Chert Ceremonial Dagger, ex-Schmitt

Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $1000**

Pre-Columbian, Belize, Maya, Late Classic Period, ca. 550 to 900 CE. A beautiful and sizable dagger that is hand-knapped from chert in wavy hues of light and dark gray. The petaloid armament exhibits a lengthy midrib with sharp edges along either side, a flat base, and a gently tapered handle that is easy to grip. This type of knife was perhaps of ceremonial context rather than utilitarian given the overall size. Examples like this have been found at several archaeological sites throughout southern Mesoamerica and the Caribbean in funerary or ritualistic deposits. Size: 14" L x 3" W (35.6 cm x 7.6 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.

Condition

Small chips to handle, blade edges, and tip, with light earthen deposits, otherwise in excellent condition. Great preservation given the overall size.
