Wood Purple Heart Trivet Hot Plate wall art unique

Here we have a item that we strongly believe was hand made. We are honestly puzzled what it could be used for, but believe you could use as a trivet, hot plate, or as decor. It does have some scratches, and wear marks. Also one side has a decent size crack which is shown in the pictures. We have given many pictures so please check all of them out. The heart is 8 1/4 inches wide, and it is 9 1/2 inches long. The thickness of it is 3/4 of an inch. If you have any questions please ask.
