Description

A dark, elongated stone object with a domed upper edge and a flat base, shown in side view against a pale card. Its surface has lighter streaks and speckles, the ends are rounded, and one end is slightly stepped. The photograph is soft and low in detail, so any engraving on the object cannot be read.
