AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A polishing stone featuring a pronounced central groove and small notches neatly arranged along its outline.
These details seem to have been deliberately crafted, not only for the object's use but also to give it a more elegant and distinctive appearance. This is precisely what sets it apart from other polishing stones: its decorative finishes, its reliefs and its irregular contours give it a particularly original character, visible in the photos.
According to family history, this object was discovered in the Tadla Desert in the 1970s by one of my ancestors who worked as an agronomist.
Dimensions: length 5.3 cm × width 3.7 cm × thickness 1.6 cm.
