Description

A rough, weathered stone object photographed against a plain grey backdrop and set on a small dark metal stand. It has a narrow upper part above a rounded body, with shallow carved grooves and an irregular, eroded surface across the middle and lower sections. The lower part widens into a rounded base, and the stone is chipped in places.
