Description

A flat bone piece is shown against a grey card mount with a narrow border. Its central band has several horizontal incised lines and a row of interlocking S-shaped scrolls with small circular motifs. Thin rods project from the top and bottom edges like teeth, and the upper end is broken, with a chipped fragment at the upper left.
