    We are not sure what this is. Has been in family for over 80 years that we know of. Who knows before that ?
    It is a broken thing, perhaps a pestle ? or ?

      Where do you live, or where did your family live when this was found? any idea of where - more or less - it was found? even the continent will help...

      Yes, thank you.
      Washington State. They lived in NW WA, yet traveled all over the state, British Columbia, & Oregon.
      We have many agates from their travels during this time.
      Some of the family lived in Wisconsin, Dakotas, Minnesota, Montana, Wyoming.
      The one item is more ornate than other Pestle type stones we have seen.
      Thank you for looking at it.

      Almost looks like the one end has 4? notches maybe for thin rope so maybe a counter weight? just a guess.
