Description: | Incomplete bone knife or net making implement. The object is almost plano-convex in cross section, having one very rounded side and one slightly rounded. The 'tang' end is complete and has a hole drilled through it at the attachment end, possibly for suspension or for the attachment of the thread. There is another circular hole drilled into the top centre of the tang from the butt end. This part also has an intentional opening at the top, exactly in the form of a whistle or recorder mouth piece. This hole is circa 10mm deep and could be for the attachment of a stop or terminal. The tang tapers slightly towards the blade end. The blade is narrowed but still keeps the plano-convex cross-section. The blade looks to drop below the line of the tang as per a typical knife blade. The flatter side of the tang is decorated with diagonal grooves; the top of the tang is decorated with incised chevrons.
