Phallic plummet from Maine

[mainejman]

Found this a few years back and i really never quite figure out what I had...I always figured it to be some sort of pendent..It appears to be made of slate...It is broken on one end which would probably have had another (head) for the lack of a better term....It is triangular and each side has a vertical grooves running the length...strange little bugger to say the least...mjm

Definitely unique and phallic. We have phallic plummets here to, I have found a couple where vertical grooves meet horizontal grooves like yours. heck of a find!!!

Unique find. You said its slate, but could it possibly be wood?
Funny how it looks just like the end of a long or recurve bow, where the bowstring would attach to the limb.

Interesting find.
Would be nice to have some reference to size.

So many jokes... so little time

Size would sure help.

Tie on atl atl weight maybe if not to big?

 

[DownNDirty]

That was my thought also

 

[mainejman]

Sorry about not including a size reference...It's three and a quarter inches long and a half inch wide...and now that I look at it closer it is four sided with grooves on all sides...mjm

 

[mainejman]

you can see where one piece is broke off that divides the two sides.....this is the second plummet that I have found that has no beneficial use as a weight what so ever...mjm

 

[buck8point]

wow, it looks completely different from that angle..

 

[mainejman]

it's hard to get a good picture and no it's not wood...mjm

 

[mainejman]

No sir not any type of bannerstone..mjm

Cool piece , definitely odd where that edge looks folded over it looks like something lead or aluminum would do

 

[mainejman]

It's not folded over its missing a thin piece right there that would have separated the sides..mjm
