Hair pin/stick

Hair pin/stick

Hair pin/stick. The stick portion is tan. The lower endhas nine incised bands around the whole circumference, making it appear to be a modified "chopstick." The wide/top end has two drilled holes stacked above one another through which each has a matching short string of beads in black, sparkling green, white shell (clam and dentillium), and brown seeds with the outline of a triangle marked in black on one side.
