Item BR151
This beautiful lithic reproduction of a spear point with
elegant parallel flaking was made by Virgil
Tonn, a rancher from Georgetown, just north of
Austin, Texas. The material is a lovely agate stone from
eastern Brazil. Virgil achieves the beautiful flake
patterns by grinding down a blank to a perfect configuration
and then he flakes it. This grinding technique was perfected
by the ancient Egyptians, but not by Native Americans. This
is one of the best Tonn points I have ever seen. The photo
does not do it justice. Length = 116 mm ; Weight = 20
