Description

Close view of a small, irregular, rounded object with a pitted surface and a curved design of sweeping grooves and raised areas. The object is photographed head-on against a pale card, with a thin border and handwritten marks along the bottom edge of the mount. The design is indistinct, so the object's form is described rather than its carving.
