content: Original Catalog Number: 2769 Style: Braden B Raw Material 2: Busycon Element: Body center longit fragment including distal Alteration: Reconstruction Manufacturing Notes: Fairly cleanly done. Lines are in some cases obscured by ink. Surface Modification: Incised Symbols: Mace w/ wrapping attached to severed human head, arrow nocks. Residue: Gray sediment in crevices - prob mound fill. Ink in design grooves. Comments: Head is poorly preserved and not very detailed - just outlined. Mace has key shaped notches out of side. Does this indicate manufacture? Or that use produced this kind of damage? Wrapping is around handle, just below "ears" on mace. 2 odd bell-shaped forms that may represent elbow pipes or something.
