Hello all - this is my first post so I hope it is in the correct place.
I have two very old deep red arrowheads. As I have zero knowledge of this subject I am hoping someone here can help me indentify them.
They were part of a substantial collection of pottery, kachinas, baskets and textiles that my mother donated to the Maxwell museum in New Mexico, but they were not included in the inventory. My mother stated that they came from New Mexico. They had been in her collection since the early 1920s and she commented that they were quite old when she got them. I cannot find any reference to these arrowheads on the internet. Two southwest relic collectors have looked at pics and are quite puzzled.
They are translucent, very deep red and carved, as they put it, "the old way" using stone tools. I will try to attach 2 jpg. photos of them.
I would greatly appreciate any information anyone may have or referrals as I would like to sell them as well as understand what they are.
Thank you
