bannana effigy
ok guys im not making any claims as to what this is, how old, etc.

I just haven't a clue

It was found by a friend of mine in the river bottoms after the flood water subsided below where I have found a few decent points.

It resembles a bannana but 2 or 3 times larger however the tips seem to be the same.

I highly suspect its anything significant yet its one of those things that if it were real it belongs in a museum so I had to post it.

It appears clay, is hollow, and lacks real good symmetry.

Thats all I know, by the way I don't know anything about pottery.

Any ideas?

keep in mind that the theory of evolution suggest we evolved from apes, apes like banannas. hence early man worshiped banannas. hows that for deductive reasoning

I can't hold it to get a good perspective, but it looks like a 'nanner.
