The blade is a dark blackish tan colour with no patination visible except on the dorsal left edge, where the flint has turned a bluey white mottled colour.

Two large dorsal arrises are visible, with a total of three previous blade negatives present on the upper surface of the blade. The dorsal left side of the blade is rather thick while the dorsal right side is thin, giving the piece a profile in the shape of a scalene triangle. Some small patches of post-depositional edge damage is visible on the dorsal right edge, both on the ventral and dorsal surfaces.Measurements (mm);Maximum length down percussion axis: 51.73Width at midpoint: 13.56Thickness at midpoint: 7.26Platform length: 6.03
