|David Dennis took this photo of a Mayan skull with jade tooth decorations.
From TYWKIWDBI:
At the height of Mayan civilization, body modification included a variety of alterations of the teeth....
Holes in the teeth were created by spinning a drill with a bow (as in firestarting), and using powdered quartz as an abrasive.
