Notes

This Crescent bannerstone is masterfully sculpted with highly polished surface and distinctive 2.5 cm iron and off-white triangular inclusion. There are several chips along the perforation that appear to be from archaic use and several long scotches on one side that appear to be historical, possible from a plough. 100/1 is written in black on the inside of the perforation. Included in Knoblock p. 453, no. 12.

Date
