Item Details
Description
**Originally Listed At $350**

Native American, North America, Eastern Woodland, ca. 200 to 1000 CE. A beautiful chert stone tool hand-knapped to form a curved base and straight sides that taper to a rounded tip. Presenting natural hues of russet and caramel, the ancient tool presents two convex faces that are chipped 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: 4.6" L x 1.7" W (11.7 cm x 4.3 cm)

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