The dorsal face has a large area of buff cortex and about 85% of the edges have been steeply knapped. The ventral face has been entirely knapped and one edge has been battered. At the cutting edge, steep removals form a sharp tip and the butt is rounded.Length: 166.5mm; width: 55.8mm; thickness: 36.7mm.
