Description :
This is a ground stone tool, likely an axe head, celt, or ceremonial blade. How to recognize it Smoothly ground surfaces Symmetrical shape Thick, durable stone Mounted upright in your display What it was used for
Chopping, woodworking, or sometimes ritual display depending on the culture and context. These are the small, triangular or leaf‑shaped pieces. How to recognize them Flaked edges Sharp points Symmetrical forms What they were used for
Hunting tools — attached to arrows, darts, or spears.
Different shapes often indicate different time periods or hunting styles. These are ground and polished tools or pendants, often made from jadeite, nephrite, serpentine, or other tough green stones. Possible uses Celts (small axes) Adzes Pendants or amulets Ceremonial objects The polish suggests they were valued items, not just utilitarian tools. These could be: Scrapers Knives Cutting flakes Drills They were used for hide processing, carving, and everyday tasks. This is likely a modern addition to the lot — a storage pouch included with the tools.
It’s not an artifact itself but part of the auction grouping. It shows multiple toolmaking techniques: flaking, grinding, polishing. It includes both functional tools and possibly symbolic pieces. It reflects the resourcefulness and craftsmanship of Indigenous cultures across North America. The mix suggests it was assembled as a collector’s group rather than found together archaeologically.1.
