Early last week I made this image in my capacity as a member of the
advisory board of the Institute for Historical Biology here at the
College.  These artifacts, which are currently the subject of
investigation, were recovered from a plantation site in coastal South
Carolina.  Their purpose is presently unknown, but they are remarkable
evidence of some degree of Arabic script literacy among presumably
Muslim slaves in late 18th century North America.  This sort of
archeological evidence is fugitive, to say the least, and we are very
excited to have acquired them.

So it ain't art, but I hope it's interesting, in the event.
