Notes

This Double-Notched Butterfly bannerstone is finely sculpted with thin flanges and deep slightly asymmetrical notches at the top and bottom of the stone. The slate has dark irregular banding. There are nicks and chips along the perforations and edges that appear to be archaic. On one side is 2385 written in black on white tape, and "Banner Flag" written below the tape, below this is written 20/38 in black. The edge of one side has been historically repaired with plaster and paint to fill in a large, chipped area.

Date

6000-1000 BCE
