notes: label: Notes
content: Style: Irregular Raw Material 2: Unionid (freshwater clam) Manufacturing Notes: One hole cearly biconical, the other a also, but it looks as tho some of the back gave way way when it was being drilled through from the front. Catalog notes say the authenticity is suspect. Drill hole is very fine for prehistoric, but biconical drilling looks ok, unless someone drilled it through and then ground out the drill holes (or used countersink bit). Design: 2 holes Surface Modification: Smoothed Comments: Made from clam and nacreous luster is strong. Awfully small for a gorget, but the shape and hole locations put it into this class.
