Hunting Charm

Hunting items such as harpoon are in George Cameron Stone { A Glossary of the Construction, Decoration and Use of Arms and Armour } so I hope this item is okay to post here. The quarry is hunted with weapons.

Just purchased this Solomon Island Dolphin hunting charm, bought in the UK so it will have some age in terms of Solomon Island artifacts. Try not to think of Dolphins in Western modern ways. The Dolphin hunting was and to some degree still hunting for ocean dolphins. The hunts were seasonal, conducted in singe hull canoes without an outrigger. The hunts required great bravery and success was hard won. Dolphin meat was the only real source of plentiful meat when successful. I like the way the skull has been transformed into a frigate bird and covered in magic symbols.

We are intelligent here and know that in the past things were done differently, so this should not be controversial.
