A one of a kind, VERY LARGE semi-translucent and |
|
|
| |
very thin for the size, Knife River Flint Agate basin,
made |
|
|
| |
by a master knapper for sure. This masterpiece has |
|

flaking patterns to die for, and shows a very
attractive |
|
|
| |
honey colored translucency when held to a light
source. |
|
|

It has light basal grinding on the sides with heavier
basal |
|

grinding to the basal area. It is TRIPLE PAPERED and |

comes with 2 additional write-ups from the |

Still retains both surface flutes and micro- |

I'm more inclined to label it a Paleo |

A real cutie !... An

Found in |

| |
opaque black obsidian Folsom dart point having |
New Mexico |
|
| |
double flutes on side B and a shorter single flute |
|
|
| |
on side A. The basal areas are lightly ground |
|
|
| |
and it has very slight
restoration to the top 1/8" |
|
|
| |
of the tip. The authenticator added "This is one |
|
|
| |
of the smallest Folsom points I have examined |
|
|
| |
to date" on the COA, and I'd have to agree with |
|
|
| |
him. Just an outstanding, beautifully flaked and |
|
|
|
delicate piece.

This one's been around the block a |

few times and both ends were |
|
|
| |
anciently "sheared" probably from |
|
|
| |
overly aggressive usage. Still an |

interesting piece which would add |
