Plaque

3D Model

Rectangular cut shell plaque with incised decoration and two suspension perforations. The plaque consists of a cut section of a bivalve shell and is decorated with a scene depicting four seated figures among foliage, with long hair and feathered headdresses. The two central figures face one another and appear to be conversing; both hold what may be blowguns. Red pigment remains within the incisions.
