label: Notes

content: Style: Craig A Raw Material 2: Busycon sinistrum Element: Complete Alteration: Weathered Manufacturing Notes: Done on very thin shell which has survived remarkably well. Apical hole 1 cm from rim a bit left of center. Incising is shallow, fine and mostly uncolored. Design: Apex incorporated into design. Surface Modification: Incised Symbols: (April K. Sievert) Bird man, barred oval, petaloid band. Residue: Brown patchy thin residue on outer surface, could be remains of basketry impression. Red stain on left edge. Use Trace: Some loss at distal area (weathered) and a segment broken out of the left rim. This is a clean break and unweathered. Comments: Barred ovals on bird bodies which have legs to one side, wings to the other, human heads w/beaded tassel for forelock and squiggly snake like things hanging down the front from the neck. Design mirrors well that of repousee copper decoration.
