This celt is fashioned from the most gorgeous material. The bit has been pecked and polished to perfection. It still has a fine sharp blade. The material is very dense as it appears to me to be heavier than it should be.
This is a nice Early Archaic period point. A classic style with fine edgework and a highly ground base. The ‘alteration’ to the ear and base were done by a percussion blow at the same time and from the same side. Judging from the patina, it was around the original time of manufacture.
