Can anyone help with the identification of the beads. The beads are stone and appear maybe dyed. The surfaces have embedded soil, as if they were dug up, and upon close up magnification have carved pictures, such as suns, crescent moons, stars, and on one the shape of a what appears to be like a bison. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I believe these are identified as: "Ruse Beads"

they look like modelled shapes to me, with the patterns impressed, perhaps a very hard pottery such as "stoneware"-?
