| DVIP1 |
An old Chumash Shell bead
Inlaid Steatite Pipe which was |
Found in Malibu, CA
|
2300.00 |
|
ceremonially "killed"
(intentionally broken up into 2 halves and 3 |
|
|
|
smaller finger-sized fragments) and later pieced back
together. It
|
|
|
|
originally had inlaid shell beads, most of which
eroded away over
|
|
|
|
time; some of these were replaced during the 1930's to
return this
|
|
|
|
rare item to it's original appearance/state. The
original five shell beads |
|
|
|
which were retained over the ages are consistent with
late horizon
|
|
|
|
types referenced in Chester King's bead chronology
publication.
