DESCRIPTION: Pecked and ground stone T-shaped hand maul, with one flange/handle broken off. There are three grooves incised on the end of the existing flange. Very worn surfaces, especially on the bottom. See: 'Artifacts of the Northwest Coast Indians' by Hilary Stewart, revised edition, 1981, pp 58-59. "Shaped by the pecking and grinding technique, (on occasion ground to a fine smoothness) these mauls represent a great deal of labour, since so much of the stone had to be removed..." "The striking head of the maul was the part primarily used, although some of these tools show strong evidence of wear at both ends of the T shape. Ends that are battered or pitted would have served a hammering function, while those that are smooth and convex would seem to indicate use in grinding." NOTE: Identified as Northwest Coast by Robin Wright. FIDE DONOR: Baskets belonged to donor's mother, Kathleen M. Schultz, and were probably acquired in 1917, when they lived in Alaska. Donor had no idea where the maul came from; it had always been with his mother's things.
