Semi-circular object with a perforation at each extremity and a groove along the longest side.  Examples of all sizes exist, most of them made from terracotta, found in large numbers in Nubian fortresses. It is unknown whether they are missile weapons, loom weights or weights for fishing nets as there are no wear marks on any of them.

Objet en forme de demi-lune présentant une perforation à chaque extrémité et une gorge le long du côté le plus long. Il existe des exemplaires de toute taille, la plupart en terre cuite, qui ont été retrouvés en grand nombre dans les forteresses nubiennes. On ne sait si ce sont des armes de jet ou des poids pour les métiers à tisser ou les filets de pêche, car ils ne montrent aucune trace d'utilisation.
