Description

A group of about eight pieces laid out on a pale background: several painted pottery sherds with dark bands, stripes and grid or wave patterns, and two shells with ridged openings, one large and one small. The sherds vary in size and shape, some curved and some flat, and the larger shell sits centrally among them. A photo mount with a small handwritten mark appears at the bottom edge.
