The second point down looks like an Eva. What is the head made from?? I never saw anything like it before.

 

[irbaddadjoe]

The bear piece is a cerimonial piece.I believe. A guy I know has found a snake, deer, and some other animals with great detail.

I don't know what culture the wolf is from. You might want to check out poverty point. Here is a picture of an owl pendant that my wife found.

I thought I would re post this topic.I,m still wondering if anyone has any comments or have ever seen any other bear heads like this one? I found this in a tobbaco field where I found my first ever arrowhead and 32 yrs. later still finding in this area. Jeff

Nice finds there Jeff. I sure wish I had gotten started hunting artifacts at 14 years old.

 

[bean man]

Cool stuff Jeff, you've been finding artifacts since a early age!

 

[fossis]

Very nice find, i have never found an effigy
in forty years of hunting.

No clue on the last one,but the second one looks like a snapped base kirk, or a lost lake. Early archaic either way!

Thanks Steven I,ve had that head to artifact shows all over and I still have not seen another one.I saw something close in a museum. Maybe it is one of a kind. One collector told me he had seen them in New MEXICO.If I had not found another 100 or so Indian artifacts in that field I would have give up on it being something an Indian had made at all Jeff

Still looking for info on head. Turned down Hundred dollars for it 25 yrs. ago, must be something. The guy said it was a head effigy off a cerimonial pot? Jeff

In all likelihood, it probably was an "adorno" from a pot. There's really no telling if it was a "ceremonial" pot, or just a well made vessel. Effigy adornos on ceramics is not uncommon at all.

Does the head appear to be made from carved stone or pottery? Pottery usually will have some type of tempering material mixed in with the clay such as grit or ground up shell. I have a similar piece from a broken Monongahela rim sherd that could be a fox or dog but the detail is not as sharp.
