Yep that thing is nuts, the carvings wrap all along with it. It was most likely used in a type of human sacrifice involving ritual gladiatorial combat. The divot on top in the middle was for holding human hearts.

Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.
