Description: Superbly crafted, 4 lb., black marble metate. Pecked, ground, and super smoothed, this is simply an amazing prehistoric Paleo-American, stone rock art hand tool! There are various concave indentations placed around the entire sculpture for comfort, and added grip strength. This implement has a hammer, pecking, grinding/smoothing applicability based on its structure and hand position and wear/stress areas. There are severaldistinctly conspicuous images also. The 1 lb mano is made of matching black marble, and is exceptionally sculpted also. Both mano and metate are exceptional examples of ancient craftsmanshiptruly, the collector's artifact(s)! Found "as is" in East Hood River County, Oregon near the Columbia River Gorge. Thank you for viewing this treasure from the ancient inhabitants of North America. (The main effigial image is definitely unique.)
