Description

A worked stone object photographed on a pale surface against a plain grey backdrop, casting a soft shadow. It is boxy in form, raised on four rounded supports with open gaps between them, and its faces are incised with lozenge, chevron and parallel-line patterns, some with small dotted infill. Its top edge is broken and the surface looks worn, and handwritten notes appear along the bottom edge of the print.
