The bone is hollow and the front face has been decorated with groups of transverse grooves, four grooves with diagonal grooves cutting them can be seen at the complete terminal end, four longer transverse groooves with four shorter ones to either side can be seen in the centre of the handle and the remains of another four can be seen at the incomplete terminal (due to old breaks). This bone is most likely to be sheep or possibly goat.
