Description

A flat carved bone object with a concave top edge, photographed head-on on a pale mount. Its face has relief decoration: a row of small rectangles and arched bands along the top, a large arched panel with relief figures, and an upright figure at the right edge. The lower edge is a fringe of long narrow strips, some broken, and a handwritten number label sits at the lower left of the mount.
