Unusual Pottery Shard

[dasabighole]

Found on Tenn. river. Fingers with cross hatch marks on the fingernails. Possible Southern Death Cult- Sun Circles and Human Hands.

That's a great piece and considering where it was found it could absolutely be associated.

The hand , sun circle, step, lighting and bone where designs used for burial urn covers, stone axe's and different kinds of pendents the urn cover was shaped like a bowl. Its a very nice find, I have never seen one with the cross hatching on the nails before and I would bet money on it coming from the death cults of the south
