nope, this item isn't the usual arrowhead or anything like that.
i've been unable to find anything like this online anywhere, but it's brass, about 6 inches long and an inch wide. the patterns on it are stamped as opposed to being etched and the pattern repeats itself.
there's a small hole punched in each end, so it was likely nailed to "something", i just don't know to what.
besides the images of the guys carrying the canoe, the tee pee, the campfire and even a couple of birds flying around, it has Native style images and designs along the top and bottom. even a Swastika! (lower right hand side in the "shiny" photo.)
i found it during a woods hunt in what had once been a small cattle pasture (a small, fenced in area, now totally overgrown with bushes/trees) and it was about 5 inches deep. of course, it may or may not have any relation to cattle, lol.
if anyone has any ideas on what it might have been or what it was used for (maybe decoration for something..???) i'd love to hear your ideas.
thanks,
Pete
