Thank you Alan.
The first four points you note are what led me down this path, it is all those things... but no ring end to the pesi.
The pesi does have these recesses that look more to be formed than eroded over time.
Some better photos to show the overall size in relation to the keys on a standard keyboard.
It does have a knife like form which reminds me of a more demure version of the knives used in Balinese funeral ceremonies.
I have read, but written without substance or proper reference, that such things like this little example, could have been used in childbirth as a magical ward and to the cut umbilical cords.
