Description:
Disc: Obsidian blades are knocked off the core. They can be thick or thin depending on the skill of the knapper. This disc or mirror is so thin it is transparent. Teardrop pendant: The obsidian teardrop pendant is curved. The artist or knapper used the natural curve of the volcanic glass. The edges were pressure flaked and dulled with stones. The convex surface of the pendant has been smoothed with abrasive sands or grits. Nosering (zoomorphic design): This nose ring or nose ornament was shaped from a thin obsidian blade. The U-shaped notches were formed as part of the pressure flaking process. This broken nose ornament has an insect quality to its shape, even though the foil is missing.
