Synopsis

The Professional Standard for America’s Oldest Collectible

Indian arrowheads may well be the earliest evidence of man’s ability to create, style, and manufacture objects of symmetry and beauty. As Robert Overstreet, bestselling author and trained typologist, reminds us, “they represent a unique art form crafted by the world’s earliest artist. Unique because, like snowflakes, each specimen is an original and no two are exactly alike.”
