This diminutive celt arrived in the collections of the Kansas Historical Society with either no or lost provenience, its record of ownership. While this is disappointing, it does not mean the celt has lost all of its utility and value. It can still be used for teaching purposes, as an example of artifacts made from pipestone, celts in general, and the possible purpose of such a small artifact.
