content: Original Catalog Number: T1421 Style: Craig C Raw Material 2: Busycon sinistrum Element: Apex to Distal tip Complete, missing sides Surface Modification: Incised Symbols: Man holding serpent staff theme. Facial markings. Comments: Large fragment of 448880 refitted to a piece from the Meyer collection which had not been catalogued. It bears the temporary number of T1421. Forgot to measure and weigh this one. Shown in Phillips and Brown 1983: Pl. 280.1 (Pre-Columbian Shell Engravings from Craig Mound at Spiro, Oklahoma. Vols IV-VI). Belt has weird appendage with hair represented on it. Apron extends down behind legs. Arms are held straight out at the sides. The mans right arm hold a staff, the left is obliterated, but it probably held something.
