content: Style: Engraved Manufacturing Notes: Composite in that it was put together of various things, Cu, shell & something else now gone. Surface Modification: Incised. Symbols: Moundville circle (7 pt star) Residue: Heavy Cu, brown prehistoric glue Comments: Cu foil remains in some of the scallops around the star. The star would have been natural shell w/something glued to the center, surrounded by a scalloped pattern of copper. Would have been very pretty.
