content: Original Catalog Number: 2918 Style: Braden C Raw Material 2: Busycon sinistrum Element: Complete, distal missing Alteration: Weathered Manufacturing Notes: Surface not prepared left rough, knobs left in place. Surface Modification: Incised Symbols: Bird, chevron, other weird animal Use Trace: Weathered hole in top Comments: Large bird in flight and left of it an animal which looks like an armadillo - with a football shaped body, long snout and 4 vertical lines on body. Feet are four flag shaped hoof-like depictions. This is not in Phillips & Brown (Pre-Columbian Shell Engravings from Craig Mound at Spiro, Oklahoma). Assigned Braden C because of poor execution, crude lines and lack of detail.
