This beautiful oval bowl is an exceptional Bell Plain effigy from Richardson's Landing. It stands 3 inches tall, boasting a stunning 'cat monster' design with a flat base. The Hampson Museum Collection showcases one of the world's most impressive collections of American Indian artistic expression and serves as a vital resource for understanding the lives and history of late pre-Columbian peoples in the Mississippi River Valley. The museum's collections were acquired through extensive excavations at the Nodena Site, as well as other sites in the region by Dr James K. Hampson, alongside contributions from institutions like the University of Alabama and the University of Arkansas. The Virtual Hampson Museum was launched by CAST in 2010. As a pioneering online platform, it offers high-resolution data for researchers to explore, making it a groundbreaking project that garnered attention from the academic community. In April 2010, it featured prominently in a UA Research Frontiers article. By 2011, the museum had started receiving significant scholarly recognition.
