Colted long stick. Long wooden stick with a round center which tapers on either end into a soft rounded edge. At the widest point of the stick there is a rectangular cut-out for a stone to be set into the wood. This tool, with stone intact would have been for burnishing and the wooden portion for polishing leather.
