Description

A broken limestone fragment with a rounded upper part carved with parallel ridged bands and a smooth dome-like form. Below it, a curved section with a broken lower edge runs down to a rounded end, and the surface is weathered with dark patches. A long nail with a rounded head stands upright beside it, with a pale patch of adhesive where it meets the object, against a plain light background.
