Large Native American Carved Stone Implement

Native American, South Central United States. A weighty curved, russet sandstone, shaped by patient abrasion into a crescent form. The surface bears flaking and weathering from long burial, use, or exposure, its color a warm oxidized brown. Identified by an earlier collector as a "ceremonial fire-starter spiral stone" from Cherokee County - possibly Oklahoma - the object more plausibly served as a hand-held implement: a grinder, polisher, or ritual weight.
