Thunder bird effigy birdie

[DirtyHandsCleanPoints]

As promised my most special piece the thunder bird/eagle effigy birdie. Was found along with a couple other birdies I posted yesterday. It's all there no breaks the beak is prominent. One wing slightly larger than the other ive found that fairly consistent with a lot of authentic examples. Exited to hear you guys thoughts and opinions about it nobody's ever saw it until now.

Pretty cool. Looks like a point that was broken then repurposed, for what in this case I couldn't guess. The notch under the beak looks like it was for a purpose. Cool find.

Wow, would love to find something like that.

Thanks for the comment another important point to me is that if you put the piece sideways as if it were in flight the smaller wing will always be on the back side as long as the beak is facing down as it would appear in real life. Could be a coincidence but worth noting.

Interesting piece. Reminds me of a drill that probably snapped and then it was reworked to a tool. I’ve got a couple of odd ball ones myself. Definitely frame worthy

Very cool piece! Are you hunting one site or are all your finds from multiple permissions?

Thank you I've got 3 private banks I hunt of family friends then just multiple major creeks around me I've centralized the spots that produce the most.

Well it's a cool find regardless, DirtyHandsCleanPoints. It's too small to use for a spoke shave, maybe split sinew? It would go to that culture and their beliefs, but I'm gonna take it as a thunderbird effigy. Post some more.

Yes. Definitely like to see more finds from the area you found this particular one.

Great piece.

A artifact yes.
A thunderbird effigy bird?
~~Not~~~

 

[newnan man]

Odd shape, who knows what it was for, but I agree with Up North. Not an effigy.

It would be nice to have pictures in natural light, looks like point that was broke, reworked and then broke again.

 

[antmike915]

Looks like a point that was converted into a drill that got damaged on the tip (odd tip fracture). Still a nice find 👍

Tools and art weren’t always mutually exclusive.
