Medicine Wheel Tablet located in Lehigh Gorge

[Swing_Tailor]

Found this fly fishing in the Lehigh river far from civilization. Was told it was a tablet from the mound people by an Indian Museum. If you look at the pattern, its half of a dream catcher. Was told this could be over 1k years old. I'd like to find another person that found one to verify. If you know anything more then I've mentioned please give me a shout. Thanks guys.

Need good pics of other angles--front, back and sides.

The rings are too perfect. That was made on a machine. It's modern. Looks like the bottom of a bucket like container. Gary

I agree. Almost looks ceramic?

I can't put my finger on exactly what it is, but it's by no means that old, much less prehistoric.

I am curious though, what does the other side look like?

Maybe some kind of hydraulic cement, grout or plaster of Paris that was popped out of a plastic bucket. A shot of the other side might help.

Looks like a commercial mold of some sort

Don't put too much faith in what museums tell you. Our local museum has a big display of fake arrowheads on the wall just inside the front door.

Here's another view from a different thread.

I'll take a shot at it and say it looks like half of a mold in which something is cast--possibly for a menorah or similar shaped item.

Tombstone fragment...

It would still help to see the other side of it, not a different angle of the same side.

I agree. You'll need the OP to take care of that request. I saw this on a different thread by the same person and figured it couldn't hurt to post it.

doesn't look like any pre-historic artifact i've ever seen.

Now that i see as possible, feel like i have seen that pattern on them before

 

[Tdog]

Relicgrubber got it right IMO. Tombstone fragment with menorah engraved...

It's not a menorah...lines bisect it from two tangents.

That's what I mean.

Good point, but I'd still bet it's not, just too geometric in style. Industrial.
could of course be wrong, it's been known to happen
