A pink stone mortar artifact is a prehistoric or ancient grinding tool, often associated with Native American (Indigenous North American) cultures, though similar stone mortars appear in other archaeological contexts worldwide. These are ground stone tools used for processing food—such as pounding acorns, seeds, nuts, grains, or plants into meal or flour—using a paired pestle (a handheld grinding stone).

Buying from more than one category? You only pay the highest rate in your cart, so eight fetishes and a pair of earrings ship together for just $15.
