Description

A rectangular object, roughly square-edged, with a raised design: a curved band across the top, a round knob in the upper right and angled and curved shapes in the lower half. The surface is pitted and worn, and the edges are slightly broken. It is photographed straight on, mounted on a white card with no scale visible.

Description, scan 2
A grey oval object with a grainy, pitted surface, photographed close up against a blue-tinted ground on a white card border. A dark rounded hollow sits near the centre, with a curved raised ridge running diagonally across the right side and a smaller raised shape at the lower left. Lighting from the upper left gives the relief strong shadows.
