No Helen Thomas pix, please.
So *that’s* where I lost it!
Made of finest silver from the North of Spain
A locket that bears the name
Of the man that Brandy loves
Hung from a thong? Seriously?
Nice keychain. Durable anyway.
What ? Does that “X” up by the hole say “2,300BC” in some ancient language ?
A cautionary note about estimated ages of artifacts. It is very common for “initial estimates” of the ages of artifacts to be grossly overstated, based on a single factor, then later the age is adjusted based on other age markers. But that is never mentioned, as there is no popular follow up.
I'm not convinced on the "worn around the neck" part. A tool might be perforated to hang from the belt, from a peg board, from some other tool rack, for carrying on a pack, or for a number of other reasons. You don't want an essential tool where it might be lost or stepped on, so you're more likely to take the time to create a secure way of storing/carrying it. "Pendant" sounds like an ornament, but I don't think of my tin snips as ornamental, nor would I wear a soldering iron as jewelery on a thong.
It’s fishing lure.
