Rare Primitive Native American Medicine Pestle Owl Face, Granite

Original early Native American Indian granite owl face pestle for grinding medicine. The rendition of an owl face was a common thematic in Native American culture. Larger mortars are known to have fully rendered owl faces carved onto their sides. Due to its small size and power animal likeness, this owl face pestle was likely used to grind important herbs and medicines, and not for food production. Features on this pestle are muted due to age and use. Condition: No damage, no chips, no cracks. Dimensions: 3″ x 2″ x 1 3/4.
