Genuine Native American-Made Bow & Arrow

The bow has a hand twisted sinew string and is 35" long. The arrow has a flint arrowhead and is 16" long. I will reveal to the buyer the makers name.

Genuine Native American-Made Fire Starter Kit

Consignment:  This fire starting kit is a very old leather pouch with a steel striker and a flint in the bag.

The leather pouch has some bead work. I will reveal to the buyer the makers name. Herb H $495  OBO  Interested parties email paleoart@frontiernet.net

Ice Age Deer Antler Knife

Ice Age Deer Jawbone Knife

Consignment:  Many years ago I purchased a Pleistocene Ice Age deer jaw found in the Arkansas River gravels of Oklahoma and coupled it with a nice thin knife blade from central Pennsylvania.

Paleo-Indian Period

Paleo Lance

Mounted: Dec. 2003
Recovered: Point purchased Farm Auction 4/28/02
Site: Unknown County, Ark.
Bound with imitation pine pitch and imitation deer sinew, real wild turkey feathers and imitation bone bead and deer hide thong on polyurethaned Willow shaft (shaft from Site 2601). This functional spear is made with a willow pole from Site 2601 and would have made a great "walking stick" as well as a weapon.  The shaft alone is strong enough to be used as a weapon and can hold the weight of a grown man. Its flexibility would make it as dependable, if not more so, than an oak shaft of the same 1.0" dia. The authentic artifact stone tip was bought at auction and hails from an unknown county in Arkansas just 500 miles south of Site 2601. This state may have also been on  the route of the migrating River Owl clan. Artifact: white flint 3.0" L x 23 gm. Overall replica length: 57"

Jabbing Spear

Mounted: Nov. 2003
Recovered: Point purchased Farm Auction 4/28/02
Site: Unknown County, Ark.
Bound with imitation pine pitch and imitation deer sinew, real wild turkey feathers and imitation bone bead and deer hide thong on polyurethaned Red Willow shaft (shaft from Site 2601). The authentic artifact stone tip was bought at auction and hails from an unknown county in Arkansas just 500 miles south of Site 2601. This state may have also been on the route of the migrating River Owl clan. Artifact: gray chert 3.25" L x 21.5 gm. Overall replica length: 46" and Dia is .875' avg.

Authentic iron hematite axe head artifact from Figurine Site 2601D fitted and anchored (without adhesive) into a 1.75” Dia. polyurethaned Wormwood Willow handle from near the same site. This functional weapon has its handle wrapped with leather cord and accented with real wild turkey feathers and imitation turquoise and imitation bone beads with polyurethaned leather bindings around the stone end. Care was taken not to contaminate the stone. The red ochre coating of the stone has all but worn off, or was chipped-off as needed by the original owners to make face paint. The recovery site could have very well been where the chieftain or medicine man dwelled as this was where the red flint surgical blade was also recovered. Note wear on blade edge: this heavy iron-laden weapon was well-used. This weapon clearly shows that the River Owl were using iron millennia before the "Iron-Age". The stone was not worked, but because of its natural tear-drop shaped cross-section, it seats securely into a split-handle form. Functional, but for display only and seller cannot take responsibility for any damage imposed by buyer. The only one of its kind in existence. Waking Dream Shaman (Kokopelli) manikin included. Artifact: 6.25" L x 524 gm. Overall replica length: 33.75"

This knife is made with an authentic artifact blade is still sharp enough to skin a deer. Real deer bone handle with authentic artifact serrated hornblende blade.

This functional weapon is accented with a real wild turkey feather and imitation turquoise and imitation bone beads with leather bindings around the stone end.
