Description: Bone ring decorated with small incised circles. [LKG 10/07/2009]
Long description: Bone ring decorated with small incised circles. The ring is of a pinkish-ochre hue on its flat top and bottom surfaces and the interior wall. On its exterior wall the ring is of a darker grey colour. Incised rings run around the outer wall of the ring and these are of a pinkish-ochre colour and so stand out from the grey background. The diameter of the ring tapers slightly and the flat upper side of the narrowest end is slightly paler in colour than the bottom side. [LKG 10/07/2009]
