This remarkable three-dimensional object made from copper
was excavated by Henry Clyde Shertrone working for the Ohio Archaeological and Historical Society. It was found in the remains
of a cremation burial located within Mound 13 at Mound City in 1920-21. It is currently on display at the Mound City Museum located
at the Hopewell Culture National Historic Park in Chillicothe, Ohio. Note that it is still identified as a “bear.”
