Description
The rhomboid palette is angular at the ends of the shorter axis and has pointed extremities. There is a perforation near to one of the extremities; because of its small size, it can be suggested that this artefact is a miniature model of an average-size palette, perhaps used as a pendant or amulette.
Object use
No obvious traces of use are visible; the striations are the result of the manufacture process.
