| Description | Both wings carry a combination of incised straight lines and semi-circles to indicate feathering which is best preserved on the upper surface of the left wing. Traces of a head decoration can be seen most clearly from the rear with a cloth covering held by an encircling band. The base is of indeterminate form (Richardson) |
