Summary edit

Description
English: Malden Plate B from the Wulfing cache, the only two-headed avian of the group. It has two heads joined at the neck and looking in opposite directions, one to the right and the other to the left. It measures 25.1 centimetres (9.9 in) in length by 16.1 centimetres (6.3 in) in width and weighs 112.3 grams (3.96 oz). Plate B is the only one of the Wulfing cache to have three centrally located ventral spots and two semi-circular spots on either side of the abdomen.[1] Among Mississippian copper plates this double-headed avian most closely resembles the composition of the 10.5 inches (27 cm) in length “fighting birds” plate found by Warren K. Moorehead in a burial in Mound C at Etowah.[2][3]
