Description, scan 2
A single pale, rounded object is photographed against a dark background and rests on a blue-grey strip. Its upper part is a broad lobe with a darker hollow beneath it, and the lower body bulges outwards with faint shallow ridges. A dark mottled patch sits at the lower left, and the surface looks worn and uneven.
