NATIVE AMERICAN ARCHAIC DIORITE
NATIVE AMERICAN ARCHAIC DIORITE FULL GROOVE AXE HEADNative American, Midwestern to Eastern United States, Eastern Woodland, Archaic period, ca. 5000 to 3000 BCE. A hand-pecked diorite stone axe head with a double headed form, and a groove that encircles the entire circumference, hence the designation: "full groove axe head." The groove has raised ridges along the edge. The blades and ridges are nearly perfect, with minimum wear- the blades suggesting this pretty mottled stone had a ritualistic use rather than utilitarian. Size: 4.75" L x 2.5" W (12.1 cm x 6.4 cm)
Please note that this was part of the William and Carol Thibadeau collection, and many pieces from their collection appear in exhibitions and permanent museum collections, including the Michael C. Carlos Museum and Nasher Museum of Art.

18TH C. NATIVE AMERICAN & USA
18TH C. NATIVE AMERICAN & USA IRON & STONE AXES (3)Native American, United States, Plains Tribes, ca. 18th to 19th century CE; North America, United States, ca. 18th to 19th century CE. A collection of 3 iron and stone axe heads, each hafted on a wooden handle. The largest axe is made by P. Garcia, and stamped on the blade with "PG" above the full name (slightly rubbed and faint) is an anvil. The cylindrical socket is hafted onto a polished wooden handle. The other iron axe has a slender head and a weathered handle and heavy patina. The Native American made axe features a three-quarter groove stone axe head, so called for the groove (covered by the deer leather cord) that enables the stone to be hafted to a handle - perfectly exemplified by this tool. Stone axes such as this were in use for thousands of years before the widespread availability of iron from Europeans. Size of largest: 22" L x 6" W (55.9 cm x 15.2 cm)
Provenance: private Burlington, North Carolina, USA collection; ex-A to Z Auctions; ex-James Pratley estate, Galveston, Texas, USA before 2000
