This brass piece, possibly a ring or necklace, was recovered from 14SH302 and donated to the Kansas Historical Society in 1925. The brass piece, likely a trade item, is decorated with a series of incised zig-zags and diagonal and vertical lines. The site is the possible location of American Chief's Village, the smallest of three Kansa Indian Villages in Shawnee County.
