Pre-Columbian "Tonalaware" clay handled basket. 2.6 grams, 1" tall and ¾" in diameter. Basically a bowl with overarching handle that was broken off and glued back on, also with triangular piece of side missing but with nice bits of encrustation, dark gray color, rare and desirable artifact that was probably intended as a child's toy and made in the village of Tonala near Guadalajara, Mexico (see Galleon Alley by Weller, pp. 118 and 146-9). From the Capitana El Rubí and pedigreed to Art McKee's Sunken Treasure Museum, with certificate.
