K I have a pair of what looks like horse shoe scrapers . They both have the same spots worked .... I wanna hear everyone's take on these two odd pieces?

Well painterx7 super finds intresting paired together,if its intentional it should show it ! the backsides should have some complimentry knapps to complete a bison looking effigy product/tool. As we know the bison was a huge part of daily life for a very long time. Its no wonder how many got knapped out used as a prop for story telling or planning a great hunt, toys, trade ,and so on .

Nothing to apologize for.
I'm sure a lot of folks haven't seen them.

Not much work at all on the other sides just son the tips of the pointed parts .. As little as it is I would call them a uni face piece . I've been known to over think things before haha
