📝 Additional Descriptions
| Comments | The object is mostly whole but was found with two other fragments which could not be reassembled with it, despite having probably been part of it. Slight depression in the center (perhaps linked to a mould). Probable mineral inclusions (granules from the active surfaces of the grinding stones); flour was very well cleaned. |
