A fragmented piece of limestone with decorative patterns etched on the surface.
The artifact is a fragment of a larger piece, likely originally rectangular or cylindrical, crafted from limestone. The surface features a series of decorative patterns or motifs that appear to be abstract or symbolic in nature. The edges are irregular and worn, suggesting it may have broken off a larger architectural element or artifact. The style appears to emphasize repetitive motifs that could have been part of a border or band.
