Large Early Native American Indian Stone Mortar & Grinding Stone Pestal Artifact

  
Early Native American Indian Artifact. Acquired from a North Carolina collection, this large example is very unique in its shape... Obviously was originally taken from a large oval stone when it was first shaped. I have no location data, although this collector had a large collection of local NC relics. It is possible this is also local to North Carolina. The only issue with this piece is that (as you can see in the pictures), on segment (chip out) is present on one end of the Mortar / Bowl. It must have been dropped on another rock at some point. This is still a nice large piece and a very commanding display. A perfect addition to any serious Indian Relic collection. Mortar: 14" Long 6 3/4" Width - 5 Height. Weighs: 16 lbs - 2 oz.
