Shape isn't something that I've ever came across and drill hole looks to symmetrical. Don't see much banded slate in my area, I'm not an expert just a 50 year collector and have never bought any artifacts! Hopefully someone else can authenticate it.

Thank you for your input! Tom

I’m in same boat, the shape scares me but I don’t have much expertise with slate artifacts so it’s possible

Need better pictures in focus, especially of inside the hole. We need light that shows inside the hole to see the drilling marks. Natural bright light works best.
