An incised line runs round upper surface about i" from edges (suggesting movable panel). 1 r from upper end four incised lines are drawn round three sides (fourth left rough), suggesting a ligature of cord, under which midway between long edges of top surface lies a raised circular disc " diam. (suggesting a seal). I" from lower end three incised lines are drawn round billet.
