Up for sale is a beautifully matched, authentic prehistoric Native American Mano and Metate grinding set. This exceptional two-piece tool setup was discovered on private property in the rugged Ozark Mountain region of Van Buren County, Arkansas, along the Little Red River. Artifact Details:
- The Basin (Metate): Features a wonderful, naturally comfortable geometric shape that fits perfectly in the hand. The top surface shows excellent flat smoothing and a shallow, worn depression from generations of ancient processing.
The Handstone (Mano): A beautifully rounded, compact stone showing distinct flattening and heavy friction wear on its grinding surface. It rests naturally against the basin.
This set is a phenomenal representation of daily domestic life among early Indigenous cultures of the Ozarks. It is highly tactile, displaying wonderful ancient patina, and makes an outstanding display piece for any serious Native American Indian artifact or stone tool collection.
