Anotations

Scope note:

Angular carved stones of the Taíno culture that are limited to Puerto Rico. The shape consists of a curved thick middle portion and two arms that protrude at a 90 degree angle from each other. Although their use is unknown, most archeologists agree that they are related to stone collars and may have been tied to the waist.
