Double Cresent Banner!!

[Bent-Twig]

Cant remember if I ever posted this here or not. This is not mine , but I sure wish it was . One of the farmers that lets me look on his property found this about 15 years ago on his farm . He was on his tractor and spotted it. It is a doubll crescent banner stone preform . Not sure why it was never finished , but it is the biggest by far that has been seen. You can see the size compared to my Dads hand in the picture, and he is not a small man. Absolutely stunning piece to see first hand. The very center on both sides has a nice hump to them. The hole was never drilled. Hope you enjoy.

Wow, Its is huge. If banners are Atal-Atal weights, That would have had to have been a ceremonial piece. What do you think? John

 

[Carolina Points]

Holy smokes that is huge, I would say it would be a ceremonial piece, I have never seen a banner that large. I bet if CJ O'Neil seen that he would have a fit, He is with bannerstones.com and he has some very nice stuff.
Thanks for the pic that is just amazing

That is a rare preform...most of the finished ones are found broken and I think some were broken in the manufacturing process. That guy had big ambitions...great find.

 

[WhiteCountyPaleo]

Dang! That has to be one of the biggest
preforms. Slate preforms start out big
anyways, but yeah,that's a nice one.

 

[pickaway]

Thats a bigun for sure...

I never get tired of seeing that, the stuff dream finds are made of!

I sure wish I would have walked that field before he got the tractor out!! Since it is such a small artifact, I probably woulda walked right over it anyway!! :P

nice. looks like the plow was trying hard to break it. would like to see the other side if possible. as far as educational pieces go, you have to appreciate preforms.

 

[Tnmountains]

Yeah I like the plow marks as well. Maybe it is a finished item and was not meant to be anything more than it is? Love seeing all the cool stuff on this site. Thanks for sharing its cool
