Three Native American Blades - Early Native American periods, 1200-1700 A.D. -. These three Native American blades are fine examples of the essential tools fashioned by America's first inhabitants. The first, a volcanic black obsidian blade has been sharpened for use in cutting meat and carefully chipped down to a sharp edge, the piece is still sharp today. Also included: a Mississippi culture white axe blade used for cutting trees and bushes; a green knife blade incised with linear decorations, from the indigenous peoples of the modern day Florida area. A very attractive set of historic blades. The largest measure: 10¼".
