Two Anasazi Stone Artifacts - Stone Ball Game Piece & Handstone Tool

Native American, Southwestern United States, Ancestral Puebloan (Anasazi). A pair of worked stone artifacts from the American Southwest, shaped and smoothed by patient abrasion against harder grit. The smaller is a near-spherical ball, its surface dimpled and softly faceted from manufacture and long handling, the form often associated with games of skill and chance among Ancestral Puebloan communities. The larger is an elongated cobble bearing shallow bored depressions on opposing faces, a feature suggesting use as a pitted handstone or anvil, perhaps gripped while cracking nuts, grinding pigment, or working other materials.
