Beautiful find Larson!
This is a perfect example of why I always keep my 'eyes on the ground' when field walking!

Congrats,

a page out of ernst steinbrueck's book on the mandan written about early 1800's

Absolutely stunning!!! Really amazing find !! Always wondered what the best soil conditions would be for preserving artifacts like that? Looks beautiful!! If it was in the ground, I'd love to know what the composition of the soil was like, as you were saying before, could be at least 350 yrs old!
Anyway, congrats on a spectacular find!!! Thanks for sharing !!!!

My People would have had a similar "Head" on our dance sticks, very nice find indeed!

 

[Sidevalve45]

Neat find. I'm surprised at how well the bone stays preserved.

Thanks,

Yeah, around here the soil eats up bone pretty quickly. Great find.
