drilled claw

[larson1951]

I think this is a bear claw
it looks like it was re-drilled after the first drilled hole had worn out after many years of wear
I have quite a few elks teeth that have been re-drilled after the first hole had worn through

Very cool looking piece larson. Maybe it's just my wild imagination, but in that 2nd picture it sure looks like an effigy head of an animal, possibly a horse.

thanks srv,
I can see what you mean
I don't know if they ever had any horses but maybe someone out there does
once again, thanks, larson1951

Larson, since I have started reading your posts, the local computer guru has decided that he needs to put you on his Christmas card list...lol. You have some of the nicest dirt that I have ever seen, the artifacts just keep coming.

Very nice piece, just makes you wonder what all it has seen and where it has been!

 

[larson1951]

thanks coin,

I agree, it has probably done some ferocious things

do you think it is a bear claw??

 

[SoIll]

or a cougar.

From the size in your hand, I would say it was a bear...
