ludic votive
this votive was retrieved from the Antron river along with other similar items
it appears to have been designed to skim over the surface of the water, stitching in its flight the elements of earth and air and water
the more it leapt the more powerful the magic
the piercing would have allowed the votive to be worn as a talisman between one sacred water course and another as the wearer waited for the perfect moment to make a wish and release the stone
