A beginning collector asked me to identify this artifact he recently purchased. No other info available. Best I can do is "Ovate Knife" or 'Blade'.....and "thousands of years" old.
It does not have the rounded base of an Adena; looks too wide for a Nodena; the two worked, pointed ends don't seem to match up with any typology I can find.

I have not seen this piece in person - can anyone give me a better ID to pass on to this new enthusiast? Thanks!
