One face displays deep flowing channels and pronounced raised ridges, while the reverse reveals finer, more evenly distributed natural etching. The thinner outer areas contrast beautifully with the darker, heavier sculpturing through the centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe small natural perforation is the standout feature.
