Description

A dark, flat, plank-shaped object photographed against a pale background. The narrow upper part carries rows of incised zigzag lines, and a small rounded projection with a hole sits on the left side near the top. Horizontal bands of incised chevrons run across the lower body, and fine diagonal scratches mar the print.
