Beautiful Thin Celt
This is a beautiful celt. It is very well made from a highly polished hardstone with a lot of Ironstone or hematite in it. It is very heavy and appears almost rusty with patina. It has been ground to only 1/2″ thick. Extremely thin for its length. You can still see the pecking marks and the scraping marks left by the maker. This fine piece was purchased at a southern Indiana museum auction in the late 1960’s.
