Description

A print mounted on a pale card shows one oval object with a raised rim and a rounded top. Curved, fan-like lines run across the upper half, and the rest of the surface has a dotted, worn texture with a smoother lower centre. No scale or label is visible, and the surface detail is faint.

Description, scan 2
An oval object with a worn, carved design of upright and curving lines fills most of the frame. Its surface is pitted and speckled, and heavy shadow along the right edge suggests a raised or convex face. It is shown straight on against a plain grey mount with a light border.
