The Double Crescent bannerstone is carefully sculpted and polished. One side at the far edge appears to have broken and been repolished in the archaic period. There are archaic and historic period scratches and a reddish-brown patina over the surface of the stone. Hamilton, Butler Co., Ohio, M&8 Col. is written in white and 22046 in graphite along the central ridge; 22046 3728/341 is written in black at the edge of one crescent flange. There are several white marks on one side, possibly due to storage or installation. Included in Knoblock p.393, no. 7 (as a Notched Ovate).
