Possible Bannerstone or Pipe Piece

To be honest I'm not even positive it's either but I'm reasonably sure that it is native. Blue slate. Your thoughts would be appreciated!

Hmmm I have no clue but hope somebody else knows cause I’m curious it’s neat whatever it is , at first I thought maybe a leg to a bowl but that’s not it

You need to give us some history on this piece, and where it was found...........

I’ve seen some similar historic pipes from the Iroquois/League of Five Nations period, usually in Quebec. But I don’t recall ever seeing one made of stone, usually earthenware/pottery. Are you up that way? (Or maybe NY, NB, NS.)

Actually yes...I'm in NS!

It was found in a farmed field in NS yesterday afternoon. Plenty of historic activity in the area including Mi'kMaq who traded well with the early French.
