Hey Swamp
That is some kind of talent you got there. The mound builder culture sometimes make you wonder how advanced we think we are....

Sweet pieces man....I admire the various moundbuilder cultures myself....More Americans should know about them...change their view of Native folks as simple savages----John, Northampton,MA

i saw this artifact in Chicago's Field Museum recently and it is truly a work of art. It was a bit thicker than I expected too. Beautiful. So I had to make a replica. It was either a necklace or a headdress piece.
swamp monkey:
Here are a couple of new plates. The two headed falcon plate is a replica of one unearthed in Dunklin County, Missouri. The other one, the two fighting falcons, is a replica copper plate based on one found in Etowah GA.
The first plate was badly damaged so some parts of the replica are interpretation based on other copper plates found at other Mississippian period sites.
