This unique Olmec maskette is made from Guatemalan Imperial Green Jadeite and Imperial Blue Jadeite.

These metals can be seen in the pictures as spots or flecks...

A lot of three lovely points in silex and other finer hardstones from the private collection of P.F. Wulff found in St. Francis County in Arkansas (see note). We're selling this very old collection in smaller lots to give everyone a chance to own a small piece of the pre-historic Americas!

The three points are carved in silex and other stone. They can probably be dated to the 2nd.-1st. millenium BC. Very hard material and amazing that they could manage to make such refined artifacts...
