I've never seen anything like that and so any opinion is based on essentially nothing valid so,...
If it is indeed prehistoric it might be an ornamental. Side views would be helpful but from those pics the edges don't really look sharpened like you'd expect from an arrowhead. I think it would be very cool if it was a decorative artifact. Very unusual.
just my $0.02.

What kind of an area was it found in? I'm guessing an arrowhead hunter's good luck charm.

Cool looking piece, I have never seen another like it. I would also guess it was ornamental.

Cool artifact, definitely something you don't see every day.
