Stone tool?

[je177]

This item was unearthed years ago in upstate NY. It’s made of stone and has clear “tool” marks. I placed the Walking Liberty Half for scale. Not much else I can say about this item. Not sure what it is or how it was used. Any info would be great. It’s cool no matter what it is

Thanks,
Jim

Very interesting. You may have a better chance at an ID moving it to the Rocks Gems page at Rocks/Gems.

That thing has the WOW factor, very unique never seen anything like it in my Indian Artifact books.

Thanks for the reply. I think part of it is broken so it may not have its complete original shape. So curious...

If anything I’d say less tool, more effigy

I noticed that it did have bird like features, but I felt I was reaching lol

modern. You can see the clear saw blade marks in the mouth cut

I can’t see obvious saw blade marks but it does seem a little too clean cut in places

I don't see any tool marks, nor do I think its a native american artifact. Strange as it sounds, I think its a natural anomaly
