Shell Pendant or Bead

Here is an example of an ancient unfinished project. I am sure it was on his ‘honey-do’ list. Finely pecked into shape but only started drilling the hole. It had a lot of potential. If it could only tell the story as to why it didn’t get finished. This is a great study piece.

A most unusual artifact carved into a diamond shape it is truly a one of a kind. It shows nice polish from use and a lot of patina.

This is a very nice piece of Alaskan history. It was purchased as part of a collection in the mid 60’s. It appears to have some glue residue in the crack at the top to support it from cracking further. (See photos)

This is a very thin well made and highly polished gorget. It had a couple brushes with farm equipment but survived with only minor scratches.
