Very impressive ! What are the four pieces with open ends just left of the large scapula in the center ?

[wmwallace]

I think those would be handles for something, maybe steel blades??

It’s a tool called a flesher which was used to remove fat and meat from the inside of animal hides when they were prepping them for tanning.

The edge with the hole is pretty sharp forming a bit like a celt or axe. The long handle formed by the bone made them pretty easy to hold.
