combining both rings and squares (some sets just included rings

I purchased this gorgeous early 20th century Papago or Pima basket in an online auction

Owl Like Fossilized Tooth! planters combining both rings and squaresI don't know anything about fossilized teeth, but believe this is one, and I thought it was pretty beautiful, and also a nice thing to carry around like a talisman and reminder of the expanse of time of which we are a mere blip. And turned on its side it looks rather like an owl, keeping watch. 2 3 4" t x 1 1 4" x 3 4". Stands on its own with the root of the tooth at base. Satisfyingly smooth surface.
