A small, rounded stone bead or weight, possibly used for jewelry or tool-making.
The artifact is a small, rounded stone object with a central perforation. It appears to be made of a light brown stone, with a smooth surface suggesting it was shaped or polished. The item could be a bead due to the perforation, suggesting it was once threaded on a necklace or bracelet, or it may have served as a weight. The lack of decoration and its simple form make it difficult to determine its specific use or era.
