It looks like a tray for burning stick incense.

Mary may be right. But usually incense burners for stick incense are wider
at the end to catch ashes. Please post when you find out what it is. It
looks interesting.

I asked here because the owner says it's a bone shuttle and wants us to
replicate it.

Until you added this dimensions I would've said it looked like a tatting
shuttle......

Yebbut there's nothing - no spool - on which to wind the yarn.

The person who's asked about it has now said that it was bought at a yard
sale and they were told it was a shuttle - they didn't know!

it's not a shuttle. it might be a 'sword', but i've not seen
a bone one, or one that shape.

obviously neither did the seller... did they indicate where in
the US it might have originated?

A sword isn't curved and doesn't need a depression. in any case, a sword of
that length doesn't need to be anything special, I use a shuttle or piece of
wood or bone or hand - anything available.

All my contact knows is what she was told. I think she's in Dakota.
