Description

A carved stone fragment rests on a dark surface, its face covered in wavy vertical ridges and diagonal grooved bands that suggest folded cloth. Rounded, scroll-like edges curve at the lower left and right ends, and a small round knob projects near the bottom centre. A scale bar runs along the lower edge beneath the object, with a small number label beside it.
