This Double-Notched Butterfly was broken in the archaic period at the perforation where it is most fragile. There is also a large crack at the bottom of the remaining flange. The carving and polished surface are uniquely refined with the remaining right flange carefully thinned to an even edge and dramatically pointed top. The olive gray slate is darker on one side with a large off-white snake-shaped inclusion that runs from the perforation ridge to the edge. There is a combination of archaic and historical period scratches over the surface of the stone. A5265/356 and CC 52 are written in black on one side and 46 written in black on the other side.
