She dropped by this morn to share this with me & I thought maybe we could get info on it here. There was a village in the field next to mine, & 8 mounds that have been plowed for over 100 yrs. Could this be an artifact?
My initial guess is native American effigy pipe. Me and my father have found several examples here in Ohio that are similar in design and material used. These were fairly commonly traded. As far as age that is beyond my expertise.
Hope this helps!
