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. http://cmbrow.people.wm.edu/photography/PAW/eggs.htm Chandos
