The ship has a deeply rounded hull and a heavy keel. The pendant is worked fully in the round. While in the donor’s collection, the piece was lightly cleaned and the two broken sections of the bow reattached. There are a number of inclusions (or, possibly, deterioration pittings) throughout the piece, mostly on the port side. The object is dark reddish brown in ambient light and translucent and dark reddish orange in transmitted light. There are large fissures on the top, port, and starboard sides near the stern. A section of the keel is broken off, and there is an old fracture loss on the starboard side just above the keel. There is a break at the bow, a large chip in this break, a break at the bow set of suspension holes, and a number of small chips on the top side. The timestamp is only as accurate as the clock in the camera, and it may be completely wrong.–1976, Gordon McLendon (Dallas, TX), donated to the J.
