📝 Additional Descriptions

Comments
Similar to finds 712a and 714a. Recalls find 498a. The largest piece is the smooth upper part. A piece with a smooth, rounded, finger-shaped profile is the only distinct border piece. The largest piece can be interpreted as having been placed in something with an edge, due to its straight edge. Three pieces fit together. Several pieces have upper sides. Dense and firm structure with a few vesicles.
