    Object Description

    Rectangular crossbar very slightly curved and undecorated. It has flattened narrow ends and there is a piece missing from one corner though the scar is worn and well patinated. No lugs. Two open front-facing rectangles the upper is wider and has a short vertical cylinder joining it to the crossbar at the centre. The overall impression is that of a stylised human form with legs apart and arms raised to support the crossbar. Base is two flat ovoids linked by a small triangle at the centre front and back.
