Message:: [QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 9746993, member: 76316"]Mods: this offering may be in the wrong place; if so, please amend my posting as appropriate...thanks!~2 7/16" long, ~1 1/16" wide, ~3/4" thick; its weight is 24.3 grams. There are no opportunities to thread a cord, an' it won't stand...it has apparently been made to carry in a medicine bag. pouch, or pocket. There are 3 human faces, 1 of them masked; gender looks to be all female with the possible exception of the masked. There are 3 human hands; 2 under that mask, an' 1 cupping the egg beneath the owl; a wolf an' eagle complete the list of totem creatures. I have not seen nor held anything like it, an' that's a bit remarkable, to me at least.Acquired here in the Pacific Northwest perhaps as recently as the early '90s, but that's somewhat conjectural. It may be from somewhere north of me, on the B.C. or SW Alaskan coast...but I'm without basis for that assumption. I have looked with studied patience for a maker's mark, entirely without success.I'll be most grateful for all your comments, an' suggestions for further research. Thanks for lookin'!
