Mysterious Ancient Artifact - DIY. Alternate history fans, please look away

One might wonder - how exactly stone vases were made in an era when even copper tools were considered a luxury? Olga Vdovina decided to try and perform a unique experiment - to produce a functional stone vessel while utilizing "primitive technologies" approach (with no metal tools whatsoever). All the work was done while using stone, hide, wood and bone materials only.

Attention! Alternative history experts and fans of "Ancient Alien" and "Ancient Machining" technologies - we suggest you keep away and take it easy.

Ancient Egyptian bird shaped vessel (produced circa 5100 years ago) was used as a prototype for this experiment. As far as we are aware, no one attempted to conduct it previously.

Original specimen: Limestone breccia vessel. Ancient Egypt, Nakada. Circa 3100 BC. British Museum (Reference: BM35306).
