- Description
- Square plaque of grey-brown limestone. Behind the face the stone has the form of a truncated pyramid, of which the face is the base. Sides are finished and picked, presumably for fixing in a wall. The rear is also finished with a picked surface. The surface is heavily discoloured due to rust from the storage shelves.
