Description

The object stands upright against a black background, with a rounded top and a pale, grainy surface. A broad rounded lump projects from the front, and a small knob sits low on the right side. A fragment protrudes at the lower left, and a thin white thread runs across that edge, with a small yellowish spot on the upper left.
