Found this piece while metal detecting in a Baltimore city park some months
Ago, and was told in different forums it might be Native American? Any ideas
Thanx
I agree on the Tinkler. Ive never found 1 but would like to. Am I correct on thinking they were used to hang up like we do chimes? Like playing music in the wind if I remember rite.
Tinklers are usually rolled conical with the small end held by an internal knot. The rectangular hole in the side location suggests that something was inserted there to keep it from turning. Just my observation.
When I first saw it I thought it was one of these since they were very similar. Not sure though because of that rectangular hole. Wondered before if mine might have been hair decoration (like they use beads) for the women as an alternative to a tinkler but idk. Neither really explains that hole. Hopefully we find out. Hh
