The bottom left is an uncarved protruding rough shape. On the upper half of the object is a a simply incised linear Latin cross contained within a lozenge shape with curved angles. The lozenge is incomplete at the lower left side. The image has been lightly incised with a knife. The cross is more deeply cut, with the horizontal arms cut with near parallel lines.
