**Originally Listed At $200**

Native American, Southwestern United States, Ancestral Puebloan, Anasazi, ca. 1000 to 1300 CE. A fine gathering of four hand-carved stone items from the ancient Anasazi.

The fourth item is a near-miniature stone paint pot with a shallow indentation for holding earthy pigments. Size of largest (smooth pot lid): 8.3" L x 6.375" W (21.1 cm x 16.2 cm).
