Columbia River morter and Taino pestal
 
6 Attachment(s)
Here are two Pre-Columbian (and quite possibly much older) native artifacts for sale.

-The lobed morter is carved from volcanic rock and comes from the Columbia River Basin (Washington State) and is rare. The tribes of that area specifically used morters that looked like this shape (paperwork included of archaeologic examples from a dig site). Compare to online examples and you'll see my price is fair- $250 and free shipping if in the U.S.

-The pestal is even rarer, also Pre-Columbian/pre-contact and is Taino tribe from the Caribbean, also made of volcanic rock and carved with a face (very Impressionistic, like a tiny moa head!). As this tribe is all but extinct, these type items just don't become available often. $200 and free shipping in the U.S.

I am also open to offers. PM me!

A few more pics of items-

I could bundle them for a better price as well-

Bills due, so lowering prices
 
The morter now $200. Unlike Hawaiian and Mexican Indian examples, Columbia River finds are much rarer...

The pestle now $175. The Taino Indians were head-hunters and featured in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies

I can bundle the pair for $300 plus shipping...

Any interests? I know these ehtnographic items aren't weapons, but as pre-Columbian relics, they are certainly historical and rare. I have a printed copy of an archaeological book/guide from the Columbia River showing one of the ribbed morters extracted from a mound that I will include.

A final adjustment to pricing. $250 for the pair!
