23" x 17" Antique Glass Oval Frame 100 year old glass bubble frame. Ready to hang on the wall .
Every Artifact in this frame is Guaranteed Authentic. There are NO reproductions or replicas whatsoever in this frame.
I have been framing the Artifacts for over 45 years and do my best to preserve the legacy of a Great Culture that has passed into History.
The backing is made of shadow box Styrofoam overlain with Red Velvet and the Artifacts have been carefully sewn on with Tandys' best waxed thread. Much care has been taken to ensure this frame will retain its beauty for many generations. The frame itself is a 100+ year old glass bubble frame.
This frame is made up of some of the nicest artifacts that have been found on our farms.
Artifacts include 2 - 3/4 grooved axes, 2 - Pipestone gorgets, One has tally marks on 2 sides, Early Archaic knives and arrowheads, several bones awls and flint awls, an early ovoid hand knife that is extremely well made with a Width/Thickness Ratio of 7:1, several other ovoid knives and several Beautiful Archaic Knives and Spearpoints that are exceptional in workmanship, beauty and rarity and many bird points. At top center is a bone awl and under that is a deer tine pressure flaker that shows lots of use polish. The two axes in the Center are 100% whole and intact, not broken at the Poll or the bit and there are no disc marks on them.
The drilled gorget is 2" long and has tally marks on the right side and top.
I have been making these type of shadow box frames for many years and the methods used to insure a frame that will maintain its structure and beauty for many generations. The Aluminum braces on the back are utilized to stabilize the weight of the stone axes on the front center. The way it is done prevents the artifacts from sagging.
Some of the Chert (flint) here are, Nehawka, Knife River, Republican River, Flint Hills, Niobrara chert, Hartville Uplift and quartz.
