The Geniculate bannerstone is finely sculpted and polished with a unique subtle grove carved into the outer edge of the rectilinear side. Working with the concentric, though shifting width of the dark banding, the sculptor has worked the stone into a refined composition with a very narrow delicate edge. On one side of the stone there is an off-white inclusion at the bottom and along the edge. A 266/42 is written on one side, while the other side has bits of wax and is discolored due to long periods on display. Included in Knoblock p. 348, No. 8.
