Description:

Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Colima to Nayarit, Ca 300 BCE/CE. First is a grinding stone, looking a bit like a Native American discoidal, or gray basalt in very rounded form with flattened areas to each side - 3" D. Next is a stone "ball." Completely rounded and showing no wear or usage on any surface. I am a bit stumped over the purpose for this item, but perhaps they played a very wicked form of ball with it. 2-1/2" D. Provenance: Ex-private Kincade collection, Utah acquired prior to 1960. All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back. A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids.

  • Condition: Chips to base of grinder, else both near choice
