The object consists of a central rectangular solid block, from the sides of which extend two sub circular arms arms with semi-spherical terminals, 15mm in diameter. Protruding from the lower edge of the block is a further smaller rectangular block which has a further bar attached to its lower edge, which has one semi-spherical terminal, C. 7mm in diameter. The centre of the upper side of the large rectangular block has a small rectangular recess, from which emerges a circular sectioned object, possibly part of a suspension loop?
