Authentic prehistoric Native American two-hole ridged-back elongated bar gorget or pendant measuring 6.25 inches in length and weighs 54g.
Glacial Kame / Late Archaic to Early Woodland period (1500 BC – 300 BC).
Carved from fine-grained olive-sage banded slate with subtle, mellow sedimentary striping, the piece displays exceptional Eastern Woodlands lapidary work. The obverse features deeply carved geometric chevrons, horizontal framing bands, a V-notched upper terminal, and distinct side-edge tally incisions, accompanied by two intact face-drilled suspension holes. The reverse face exhibits a clean, deliberate axial alignment channel running along the centerline and retains smooth edges, gentle handling wear.
Provenance: Originating from the Harry Trott collection (original inventory tag J-56)
