Pre-Columbian Mayan Eccentric Artifacts 600-900AD
This is an exceptional Pre-Columbian Mayan Eccentric Flint crescent shaped artifact from circa 600-900 A.D. and wonderful Eccentric Flint artifact. The piece comes with a COA (Certificate of Authenticity) from Marc A. Schmitt and Bruce T. Mominee. The piece shows a White Patinated Translucent Beige Flint material and is from Mayan Belize circa 600 A.D. to 900 A.D. The historic artifact shows a crescent "U" or "C" shape with eccentric hafted ridges or lugs around the perimeter. The piece shows extremely fine flint knapping work and is a very rare artifact. This is truly a one of a kind museum quality piece. The piece shows good overall condition and is displayed in a 6.25”x8.25” and 7/8" thick black glass top display. The lot also comes with a 3.25”L x 1.25”W Eccentric knife with four hafted areas. The artifact is 2 7/8”L x 2.5”W in size. Some thought this Crescent shape was a crab effigy, Mayan cave entrance to the underworld, and others an offering to the Mayan gods.
