A Florida Limestone Pendant

[Hal Gorges]

From the Homasassa river, Florida..This lobbed pendant is made from lime stone...B&W photo is one of several shell carvings from the Mississippian period ..At least a few of this type were used in this manner
Thanks for the 👀

Your pic of shell carving so helpful! I think about living back when, and how I would adorn myself (and you know I’d have me some adornments!)

You wouldn't want to go jogging with that piece around your neck.

But good eye in spotting that, it explains why so many of those are so well made.

I think about just leaning down, and getting whacked in the teeth! (But I been thinking bout teeth a lot lately, Hal!)
