Description

A broken fragment of porous limestone, roughly block-shaped, with angled faces and rough, chipped edges. Several shallow parallel ridges run diagonally across the lower part of the carved surface, and near the top a cluster of small curved grooves and a raised rounded form can be seen. The fragment stands on a pale surface and casts a soft shadow to the right.
