buffalo scapula shovels and mandan pottery

[larson1951]

here are the two shoels/hoes i forgot to post yesterday
also mandan pottery including 3 pieces with the human finger/fingernail marks
these should be almost all rim pieces since that is where the designs are













these three pieces are the ones that have imprints made with the ends of a finger and also show the imprint of the fingernail

i kinda think these are cool as they feel to me that i am getting a special connection to the mandans when i hold them

Nice artifacts. They really decorated the pottery very well in your area.

That is some AWESOME pottery. Small, cord marked pieces are all I can find here in Ohio.

Thanks for posting.

Really Cool Finds!
I love the designs on the pottery, I wish I would have collected more for a personal display.
