The Double-Notched Butterfly bannerstone is finely sculpted with one moderate and one deeply carved notched and an elevated, pointed ridge along the perforation. The flanges are exceedingly thin at the edge ranging from 0.1 to 0.3 cm. There are several off-white inclusions in the slate crossing over the banding. There are several nicks along the edges that appear to be archaic. The perforation is filled with Styrofoam for installation and one side of the stone is much lighter than the other, possibly due to long periods of time on display. On one side of the stone 266/7 is written in black over 266/7 written in pencil.
