Description

A set of five fish lures with shanks made from antler or bone and with iron hooks. The shanks are narrow at one end, where a pair of holes has been drilled for attaching to a fishing line, and broader at the opposite end where the hook has been inserted into a drilled hole. The shank of the lure illustrated has engraved decorations on one face and on one edge, and glass beads have been set into the edge near the hook in imitation of a small fish.
