The preform also came up to me but I still can't find the final form of it :- )<br><br>The two tips are not so well preserved - the one is broken as you can see in the photo.The other one has some polish close to the edge of the tip. It could be considered as use wear traces.<br><br></div>As for the two holes, maybe a wooden shaft was penetrating them and the item was used laterally.

Traces of manufacture are very clearly visible and I do not see any usewear (perhaps you noted some?). However, for what it may have been preform is a bit tough to guess, I've never seen an object that may look similar to this.
