    Maybe shape it up a base in uncolored, natural air dry clay?

    I agree that that looks like a really good one.
    Can you tell what it's made from @J Dagger ?

    I’ve never handled the stuff but I bet that is a good idea. I was just looking for a safe place to temporarily put it and walked by a large kachina I have. He had something in his hand at one point which is now missing. The base of this totem almost fits. I may trim it and put it there. Doesn’t fit culturally obviously but I like putting found objects together in fun ways.

    I’d say a portly fella with lots of whiskers that liked to lay on beaches and rocks after eating fish in cold water.

    I'm using Premier brand for a little reconstruction myself. I've also heard DAS is good. Since the item is possibly ivory or bone, a stone based clay might be good for something that's touching it. Those clays are non-toxic and mostly mineral based.

    Found a letter opener I have and figured I’d share. Picked up for a few bucks at a sale. For me it’s a lot of fun for a few bucks, even with the chipped end. 654C8063-BB30-47BC-9E4E-609067798830.jpeg BC688D17-4528-4E96-A2A3-65D42DDC5E7E.jpeg CC635688-A6DE-4CF5-A0E1-C89E5B4911B5.jpeg
