Phillips & Brown (Pre-Columbian Shell Engravings from Craig Mound at Spiro, Oklahoma), Pl. 168.1 (see their note). Leg of human, not yet matched to a shell or other frags except for 2 joined frags from 448880. These do not match in the manner shown in Phillips and Brown because the body frag is from the left top edge of the vessel, but it goes the other way around such that the foot could not be attached to the leg.
