Fine Maya Flint Spearpoint, Ca. 500–800 A.D.

A superb flint spearpoint from the Maya regions, dating to the Late Classic period, circa 500–800 A.D. Knapped from tan flint into a beautifully tapered elliptical “tongue” form, this blade exhibits expert craftsmanship and a balanced silhouette emblematic of elite Maya weaponry. The surface bears a rich, ancient patina that attests to its age and authenticity. Measuring 7-1/4 inches in length by 3-1/4 inches wide, it remains completely intact and in exceptional condition.

This piece comes from a distinguished provenance: originally part of the respected Penti Tolaama collection in New York City, assembled in the 1970s–1980s, and subsequently held in a New Jersey private collection. A rare and elegant artifact, this spearpoint exemplifies the martial and ritual sophistication of the ancient Maya.
