This reproduction of a Native American spear or atlatl
dart point was made by Virgil
Tonn, a rancher from Georgetown, just north of
Austin, Texas. Virgil achieves the beautiful flake patterns
by grinding down a blank to a perfect configuration and then
he flakes it. This grinding technique was perfected by the
ancient Egyptians, but not by Native Americans. Length = 89
mm ; Weight = 6 gm
