Rutz Clovis point to sell for $400,000 at Morphy Auctions?

The Rutz Clovis point will auction for the first time since its discovery

The Rutz Clovis Point, a projectile head circa 10,000-9,000 BC, will lead Morphy Auctions' November 9 sale of prehistoric American artefacts in Denver with a $200,000-400,000 estimate.

The Clovis people were early inhabitants of North America who first appear on the archaeological record 13,000 years ago. The distinctive bifacal stone spearheads, known as points, were used to hunt big game such as mammoth.

The Rutz point, carved from green obsidian, was discovered in a wheat field in Douglas County, Washington in the 1950s and has remained in the same family ever since.

At just over 9 inches, it is the largest ever found and is considered to be of great historical importance. [...] paulfrasercollectibles.com/
