I rescued this from a sandpit, long ago in Concord.
I think that is a well-defined flake scar.
The material looks like it might have been pecked here below the "arm".
This stone might have been used for something practical, to produce the uniform polish over the whole object. The only place that it is not shiny is the surface that was exposed when I found it. Any guesses?

Sometimes you spot a similar stone "in situ," placed just so for some reason by someone. "A Prayer in Stone?" ponders the imaginative investigator. Others declare: "Field clearing stone in a linear landfill!" Makes good clickbait for the same old article that's been written a thousand times: https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/new-england-stone-walls
