Description: | A square bone or horn object; the lower face is undecorated with deep file marks in two areas, the upper face is decorated with an incised saltire each arm of which has 3 parallel incised lines, the outer two on each arm have been filled with a dark brown substance; each arm ends in a deep cup surrounded by an incised ring which is also filled with ruddy brown 'dye', at the centre of the cross is a further cup and ring without any evidence of infill. The saltire creates four triangular cells, each of which is decorated with a cup and ring mark placed roughly centrally and surrounded by 3 further deep cups, two towards the outside edge and one slightly smaller near the centre. Two opposing side faces are decorated with filled in cup and ring motifs, the lower half of which have either worn away or been cut. One of the other two opposing side faces is unadorned, and the other has been decorated with 2 double incised chevrons and small hollow pellets in the angles.
