Pestle

[ohioaxeman]

I believe I have a pestle here that may have been another tool before it got to this stage. It has some super polish around 95% of the tool, especially on the (bit/tapered) end, and all the way up to the (hafting/break?) area. I think Bsit1361 just posted a similiar pestle/tool minus the polishing! Any input from the experts?

I'm no expert but that is one beautiful tool you found there Ohioaxeman. You just have to wonder how it was used when you hold it in your hands don't you? Great find.

looks like a celt that was broken and used as a hammer

Looks like either a broken/damaged Celt or a Celt that hasn't quite been finished yet and they were just preparing to put the blade on it.

it was definitely a celt at some point in its life.

I was thinking celt and after it broke they used as a pestle. No matter what that was one awesome find
