- Description
- Four joining fragments of a bone weaving tablet. Broken and missing a small piece at one side. Worn out due to ancient use at one side. Trimmed in order to achieve a rough cylindrical shape. Cut smoothly at both ends forming a rounder section. One end is relatively smaller than the other. A single small shallow drill hole is preserved at both ends. Two holes appear on the body of tablet, near the ends. Three sets of two shallow incisions forming a ridge encircle the tablet.
