A flat, figure-shaped object shown against a plain cream background. The narrow upper part has two small concentric circles near the top, and the broader body has a curved band of incised arcs at the shoulder, a lattice of crossed lines in the middle and horizontal incised bands along the edges. The dark surface is mottled with small losses.
