A flat, shallow bowl crafted from dark stone.

The artifact is a smooth, shallow bowl with a simple, minimalistic design. It is made from a dark, possibly green stone, featuring a subtly polished surface with some natural veining. The composition is symmetrical, with a circular indentation in the center, which could suggest a functional or ritualistic purpose. There are no visible inscriptions or decorations beyond the stone's natural patterning.
