Description

A small, roughly square dark object fills most of the frame, with a raised curved line forming a large arc across the top and a rounded shape below it. Pale highlights along the lines show the relief of the design, which is hard to read in detail. The edges of the piece are rough and a small dark mark sits at the top left, with a white card border around the print.
