It could be an artifact, left behind by the children of the divines, or perhaps even the Daedra. The fact is, it has to be beyond the merethic era, seeing as how Ysgramor and the 500 had not yet conquered Tamriel, which means dawn era. Which leads me to think it may have been used to shape the children of the Aedra...either that, or Sheogorath turned an unlucky eagle into stone with the wabbajack.
