Anyone seen one of these before?

Looks like someone was going to make something out of it and stopped.

Interesting. Let's see some close-up pics of the hole.

Each end is notched

Cool piece .. is that another spot they started to drill across from the hole ? Maybe it’s a unfinished Gorget

Beats me. Each end where it looks notched, it seems that a hole was once drilled there.

With each end being notched it makes me think of a Tie On AtlAtl Weight. Not sure why it would be drilled unless it repurposed as a Pendant. Cool piece for sure.

I'd like to have seen the drill bit that bore that hole! Must have been ultra fine and made from great material

And thanks for the additional pics--certainly worth holding on to

Looks like a fishing lure without hooks.

Sand as a medium and a stick or native bamboo to drill. Amazing the things they did.

I can see it being atlatl, but that hole is tripping me out
