Description

A rectangular stone slab with a raised relief carving near its centre, shown straight on against a dark backdrop. The carved figure has a large round eye, a projection rising from the top edge, and ridged, rounded shapes along its lower body. Four small circular holes sit near the corners of the slab, and the stone surface is pitted with small dots.
