Roman whetstone
Flat whetstone. Originally sub-rectangular, the two main faces and the long edges are well worn, and one of the sides considerably so. The concavity of this side is consistent with use by a right-handed person. The main faces also have notches close to the ends where the blade has been run across the edge.
