This is a limestone object that widens at the bottom, giving it the overall shape of a triangle with rounded angles. At the top of the object, there is a slightly off-centre suspension hole of about 1,3 cm in diametre. The lower part of the opening continues on to one of the surfaces, giving it a slight protuberance. One of the sides is flat and bears a vertical groove, 5 cm in length with a depth of 0,3 cm. The entire object is greatly damaged. It is assumed that this object was used as counterweight or weight of a loom.

Il s'agit d'un objet en calcaire s'élargissant sur la partie inférieure pour former la forme générale d'un triangle arrondi aux angles. &Agrave; l'extrémité supérieure de l'objet, présence d'un trou de suspension d'environ 1,3 cm de diamètre, légèrement excentré. La partie inférieure de l'ouverture se poursuit, sur l'une des faces, pour former une légère protubérance. Un des flancs est aplati et dispose d'une rainure verticale longue de 5 cm et profonde de 0,3 cm. L'ensemble de l'objet est très abîmé. Nous pouvons supposer que cet objet devait être utilisé comme contrepoids ou poids de métier à tisser.
