Notes

This Panel bannerstone is unusual with a carved curve at the center of one edge instead of a straight flush finish as is common with most Panel bannerstones such as NMNH S327933. It is finely carved and polished with careful attention to the dark slate banding. 850/75 is written in white on one side. Included in Knoblock p.357, no. 8.
