<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Goodykoontz, post: 11268083, member: 82566&quot;]i&#039;ve been doing some digging on my own and i&#039;ve found several bowls attributed to both Mimbres and Anasazi online with designs that are very similar to this piece.&nbsp; the footed design is unusual.&nbsp; i&#039;ve found nothing like this.&nbsp; with regards to the rattle feature this is all i&#039;ve found, again through google ai:</p><p><br /></p><ul> <li><b>Discovery:</b> A turtle shell-shaped rattle, only about 4 inches in diameter, was added to the Western New Mexico University (WNMU) museum&#039;s collection in February 2025.</li> </ul><p> <ul> <li><b>Significance:</b> This discovery was noted as a surprise, as Mimbres rattles were previously unknown. Prior to this finding, scholars believed Mimbres artisans did not create ceramic rattles.</li> </ul><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
