Implement made from a sawn off section of slightly curving antler beam. Both ends are roughly cut and along the entire length the trabecular antler has been hollowed out. 60mm from one end two opposing perforations have been drilled transversely through the beam, that on the inside of the curve is surrounded by an area of considerable wear. It seems this object might be used as a handle to turn or twist in a heavy duty fashion.
