Description

A large, rough-textured stone mass fills the left and centre of the frame, with a projecting horizontal ledge across its top and a dark recess cut into its right side. The background is dark and hazy, with no people, tools or scale visible. The image is grainy and low in contrast, so the stone's exact nature is hard to judge.
