Description

A blurred, low-contrast photograph of a stone object mounted on a white-painted card with a grey border. The surface shows pale raised ridges and darker hollows forming a pointed shape, with a small pale elongated piece near the lower centre. Fine detail is hard to make out, and the edges of the print are uneven.
