Dimensions: L 2.2 W 2.0 Th 0.5
Remarks: Left lateral ribbled retouch creates a shallow notch -- very much more lustrous, howeever, so possibly recet/accidental.WAP: definitely intentional. Piece is very fresh and has very brittle edges. The only place where it is lustrous is where there is very standardized retouch. Possibly re-used?
