The "Serpent" Part 2 - #2-1

Size: Frame is 26" long x 7" wide.

Provenance: A mixture of areas are represented from Kansas, Cahokia area, and Ohio.

Condition: Museum. There are 53 total triangles in the display, but the artifacts are only a part of the story. The entire display was built by a master craftsman and artifact collector named Paul Seery. Each triangle sits snuggly into the hardwood backing. Paul carved out the exact size of each triangle, but they can still be removed with a toothpick and put back in. Piece can be hung vertically or horizontally. A true cross collectible that can attract art and artifact collectors. I was flattered that a similar "serpent" I sold of triangles a few years ago inspired this piece.

Price: $500. Feels like a total steal, but that is the price I was told to sell it for.

Sonora Flint Adena - #2-2

Size: 3 7/8" long x 1 1/4" wide.

Provenance: Found in Morrow County, Ohio.

Condition: Super. I really don't feel the need to describe this piece very much. Killer Sonora piece!!!

Price: $165

Dovetail - #2-3

Size: 3 1/8" long x 1 3/8" wide.

Provenance: Found in Indiana. X: J. Bennet

Condition: Excellent. One modern ding on top blade edge. Base appears to be made the way it is with cortex used. I am torn between Hornstone and Sonora on this one. If it is Hornstone, it is just about the highest grade you will ever see. Solid, authentic dove here.

Price: $150

Huge Flint Ridge Hopewell Blunt - #2-4

Size: 2 1/8" long x 2 1/4" wide.

Provenance: Wood County, Ohio.

Condition: Excellent. I can see why the prehistoric maker of this piece reworked it. Probably started out as a 6"+ Hopewell blade. The most interesting thing about the piece is that it was used a blunted scraper for a long time. The backside(pictured below) is polished to a mirror finish from use. I have seen this very few times with Flint Ridge, and never on a blunt.

Large Indiana Triangle - #2-5

Size: 2 3/4" long x 1 7/16" wide.

Big Sandy - #2-11

Size: 1 7/16" long x 1 1/8" wide.

Provenance: You can barely read Gibson County, Indiana in old India ink.

Condition: Excellent. Just a nice little Big Sandy. Nice Hornstone material. I remember well finding a point like this one many years ago. My future sister-in-law mounted it in a necklace that I still have. It is good to be reminded about why I do this.

Price: $25
