Columbia River morter and Taino pestal
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! |
