Description

Two roughly worked stone objects stand side by side on a pale background. The left one is an elongated, rounded piece with a narrow head-like top, a shallow horizontal groove and a slight waist. The right one is a flatter, broader piece with a squared top, shoulder-like projections and a notch at the base, with a worn, pitted surface.
