| This must be one of the largest Precolumbian tweezers (LLL250) ever made! Measuring 4 15/16” in length, and in overall very good condition (it still works) with some slight bends and a great patina, it was found in west Mexico in the mid-1900s. From the Langdon collection, the tweezers is probably Tarascan in origin dating c.1000-1500AD. Ordinarily, these are called depilators and were used for removing facial and body hair. This one, as large as it is, must have been used on a porcupine! A great example of the type that comes with a small display card, a Langdon bio, and a map of west Mexico showing the general area where the tweezers was found. | ||||||
