ok, this piece of jade was unearthed in 1952 during the construction of the Pan American highway in El Salvador. it is about 4 inches long and concave, highly polished blue jade, with 4 conical hand drilled holes. Any ideas are very welcome!

Beautiful artifact. No idea what it’s for with perforations. When you get into So Mexico and Central America you see some bizarre stuff. It’s too bad there’s no jade in the Midwest. I’m sure they would have used it. This is a jade celt from Honduras. A friend stationed there in the army found it there and gave it to me. He brought back several.
