Abalone shell imported from California and the Pacific islands was an important material for the native artist. The material was often used for inlays, but plaques and shaped pieces were also used as ornaments in themselves. This pair of earrings are shaped of abalone shell to resemble large shark teeth which were prized as earrings. (Holm, Crooked Beak of Heaven, 1972)
