Got this today at a junk market for a couple of quid. Longest dimension approx 22cm, weight 1.3kg. At first glance looks rough and simple but somebody has spent many hours to cut shape and decorate this stone. It looks as if it was attached to something. Why was a pimple carved in the arch, another sign of care in creation? The stone does remind me of some stone used by the Inuit? just a guess. Anybody seen anything like it {vandoo} of course it might be nothing to do with a club. Possibly PNG?
