Native American Grooved Hammerstone / Maul Head (Auction 2026-06-05, Lot 93B)

$385.50

A grooved maul or hafted hammerstone, shaped from a dense tan cobble with a pecked encircling groove that would have seated a withe or sinew wrapping to secure a wooden haft. The pitted surface reflects both the pecking used to shape the tool and the wear of extended use as a percussive implement for crushing, grinding, or driving wedges.

Provenance: private Henderson, Nevada, USA collection

Condition: Very Good. Pitting and abrasions, but intact.
