Descripción : Pre-Columbian, Caribbean/Florida, Taino people, ca. 10th to 15th century CE. A gorgeously shaped, teardrop petaloid black stone hand axe (sometimes called a celt) that was made to be a ceremonial object - part of a ceremonial hatchet called a manaya. This blade would have been hafted onto a wooden handle (although there are limited examples where the blade and handle are all made from a single piece of stone). The Yoruba African people that the Spanish brought as slaves to the Caribbean found these stones in fields and linked them to the Yoruba deity Chango because of their thunderbolt shape.
