Here is a Marquesan bone hair ornament similar to ones seen in the Met exhibit...this one is for Mr. Bigbrotiki. The second object is a scrimshaw piece...actually made from a real 19th century sailor's net needle. Vince, this one's for you, braddah. Something to keep in your pocket to keep the wind in your sails as you move on. I was waiting for your return to give it to you...I know that road you've been down and how hard it is. Granted I'm not quite up to the skills of the scrimshaw scratchers of old!
