- Lot Description
Native American, Eastern Woodlands, Missouri, Ralls County, Salt River area, ca. 1100 BCE. An Eastern Woodlands stone discoidal or double-sided grinding mortar/pallet, found in Ralls County, Missouri, along the Salt River. Carved from fine-grained stone and finely finished, this example belongs to a type found only in a limited region in eastern Missouri below Hannibal and across the Mississippi River into Illinois. Each side is deeply concave, the two cups positioned so closely that when held to strong light, the thin center allows light to pass through. The form suggests use for grinding pigments, seeds, or medicinal materials, though examples of this type may also have held ceremonial or symbolic significance. The craftsmanship - symmetrical shaping, smooth surfaces, and balanced form - reflects the skill of its maker more than three thousand years ago. Size: 3.2" Diameter x 0.7" W (8.1 cm x 1.8 cm)
Provenance: Ralph T. Coe Center for the Arts, Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA, acquired 1997-1998; ex-Taylor Dale Gallery, Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA; ex-Tom Davis, USA; ex-Tom Stanton, Bertonsville, Missouri, USA
