Thumbs up

A INTERESTING ITEM WORTH A BEER JUST FOR THE CONTEMPATION ,DISCUSSION AND HAVING ONE OF A KIND.

I HAVE NOT SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT AND THE USE OF LINES FOR DECORATION IS USED WORLD WIDE IN MANY DIFFERENT CULTURES AND FAIRLY COMMON, SO DOSEN'T HELP. THE SHAPE IS ALSO ODD AND DOSEN'T MATCH UP WITH ANYTHING I HAVE SEEN, IT DOES APPEAR TO BE COMPLEAT AND NOT BROKEN WITH PICES MISSING. FROM THE PICTURES IT DOSEN'T APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN DUG UP (NO ENCRUSTATION OR DETERIATION AND WEATHERING) SO PERHAPS THIS MAY STILL BE USED BY A TRIBE SOMEWHERE OR A REFRENCE OR EXAMPLE OF THE ENTIRE OBJECT MAY BE IN A MUSEUM.
I WOULD GUESS IT TO BE USED IN A CEREMONIAL MANNER OR AS A DECORATIVE SYMBOL OF RANK OR TRIBE NOT AS ANY SORT OF WEAPON. I IMAGINE IT AS A PART PF A OBJECT HANGING ON A WALL OR POLE OR SOMETHING AS PART OF SOME OBJECT OR DISPLAY MADE UP OF VARIOUS MATERIALS, WOOD ,CORD, FUR,SHELLS BONES ECT.
JUST MY IMAGINATION AND GUT FEELING BUT PERHAPS YOU OR ANOTHER MEMBER WILL RUN ACROSS SOMETHING SIMULAR IN FUTURE AND PIN IT DOWN FOR US. GOOD LUCK
