Lithic Reproduction by Virgil Tonn
Item BR76
This lithic reproduction of an Agate Basin (Transitional
Paleo to Early Archaic) or Hellgap (Late Paleo) Lanceolate
(or a knife or dart point ) was made by Virgil

Austin, Texas. 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. Length = 98
