elbow stones (<sculpture by form>, sculpture (visual works), ... Visual and Verbal Communication (hierarchy name)) |
|
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. |

Additional Notes: |

Dutch ..... Hoekige beeldgesneden stenen van de Taíno-cultuur die alleen op Puerto Rico zijn gevonden. De vorm bestaat uit een dik, gebogen middelste gedeelte en twee armen die een hoek van 90 graden met elkaar maken. Het precieze gebruik is onbekend, maar de meeste archeologen denken dat ze te maken hebben met de stenen gordels, en misschien aan het middel werden gebonden. |
Portuguese ..... Pedras esculpidas angulares da cultura Taíno que são limitadas à Porto Rico. Esse formato consiste de uma porção média, espessa e curvada e de dois braços que se sobrassaem em um ângulo de 90 graus um do outro. Embora seu uso seja desconhecido, muitos arqueólogos concordam que elas são relacionadas aos colares de pedra e podem ser presos à cintura. |
