Shell Duck Effigy

[Charl]

Here's something a bit different. This is a shell duck effigy strung with glass trade beads. Iroquois Seneca.
All found at the Marsh Site, Livingston Co., NY, and c. 1660 AD.

That Shell Duck effigy is a thing of beauty, I always wonder at their abstract views of wildlife.

Thanks, Rege. I love their abstract interpretation very much myself. Mel, no, a Hesse Gallery, NY auction in 1997.
