Beschreibung:

Glacial Kame Culture / Late Archaic Period, 4000-1500 B.C. Wood County, Ohio 5-1/4 in. This large Elongated Birdstone is a beautiful example of the type. Made from dark green, banded slate; having the natural lines of the slate form a concentric circle surrounding the eye on the right side of the head. The banding accentuates the form further, flowing from the top of the head across the back and terminating at the tail. The surface is highly polished by the effort put forth by the prehistoric sculptor. This birdstone was found in the 1940s, east of Bowling Green in Wood County Ohio by an oil driller. It then entered the collection of Eugene Hirzel of Toledo, Ohio. Hirzel was well-known as a highly selective collector of fine artifacts as can be seen in Who’s Who in Indian Relics, Volume II, 1968. Publication: Prehistoric American, Vol. 43, No. 4, 2009, (Birdstone Special Issue), pg. 36 and 81 (9 o’clock). Collection History: Eugene Hirzel, Toledo, Ohio James R. Johnston, Ashley, Ohio Steve Fuller, Wooster, Ohio Jan Sorgenfrei, Findlay, Ohio Provenance: From the Collection of Jan Sorgenfrei, Findlay, Ohio
