It was smooth and fit comfortably in the palm of my hand. Its warm brown finish made it look decorative, but I couldn’t figure out what it was for. I wondered if it was a paperweight, a furniture knob, or perhaps part of an old game.

“Turn it over,” she said. “Does it have a small serrated metal edge?”
It did.
