Description

An oval object with a pale, mottled stone-like surface, dark patches and a smooth rounded outline fills most of the frame against a grey backdrop. The photograph is out of focus, so any engraved design or detail on the surface cannot be made out. The print is mounted on a cream card with a narrow border.
