Two 12" square embossed copper plates with a reed mat between them, excavated from the Mount Royal Mound in Florida by C. B. Moore in 1893 and '94.
Very unusual designs...

This mound might not look like much to us today, but it’s the largest prehistoric earthwork in the Americas—part of a #vibrant community often called “America’s Oldest City.”

Around AD 1150, Cahokia was the largest prehistoric community north of Mexico, with as many as 20,000 residents (larger than most European cities). #opcWeeklyTheme 📷
