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)

NATIVE AMERICAN WOODLANDS STONE AXE

A hefty stone axe head that is hand-pecked from a mottled gray stone. Across one end is a full groove that encircles the entire circumference of the axe head, which not only gave the implement its name - "full groove stone axe" - but also allowed it to be attached to a wooden handle with a cord. The head is elongated with a rounded butt end and a thick body that tapers to a straight cutting edge. This is a substantial tool, great for a variety of tasks, such as chopping wood. Size: 7.5" L x 4.5" W (19 cm x 11.4 cm)

VALDIVIAN STONE AXE
VALDIVIAN STONE AXE HEAD**Originally Listed At $250**
Pre-Columbian, Ecuador, Valdivia culture, ca. 3500 to 1800 BCE. A very fine stone celt or axe head that is comprised of a straight handle side and slightly flared corners with a convex body that tapers to a rounded cutting edge. The stone is a smooth, dark-gray color tinged with a hint of green. This celt was formed by pecking and grinding until smooth. The lateral projections on the handle's edge may have made this blade head easier to attached to a wooden pole or handle. Size: 5.25" L x 5" W (13.3 cm x 12.7 cm)
Hand axes of this form have been found as part of the Kotosh Religious tradition, a name that archaeologists have given to ritual buildings built between 3000 and 1500 BCE in the mountain drainages of the Andes. Celts like this one, although shaped like a utilitarian tool, were made specifically for ritual purposes and were often buried with people of importance.

RARE ANCESTRAL PUEBLOAN STONE AXE
RARE ANCESTRAL PUEBLOAN STONE AXE HEAD, EX MUSEUMNative American, Southwestern United States, southern Colorado, Ancestral Puebloan, (Anasazi), Pueblo I to Pueblo III period, ca. 750 to 1300 CE. This is a hand-pecked and polished stone axe or hammer head, with a pair of side notches for hafting. The head is divided into separate heads by the large notches opposite each other along the periphery - one notch is slightly larger than the other - and looking closely it has a slightly raised central ridge. These notches facilitated hafting to a pole with a cord, or directly to a branch that was still green and pliable. One head is clearly the axe blade - the tip is sharpened to a cutting edge. The butt end is thicker and rounded, ideal for use as a hammer or club. Size: 5.5" L x 3.25" W (14 cm x 8.3 cm)
Provenance: ex-Joan Shaw collection, purchased in 1971; loaned to the Mesa Verde Museum from 1962 to 1970, catalog no. 8562; ex-Bill Mitchell collection Cortez, Colorado, USA, from 1958 to 1962
