The design of this palette for cosmetics was modelled on the truncated, diamond-shaped palettes of the A-Group, though its shape is more sub-rectangular. Its manufacture is cruder than the above-mentioned and it is also thicker. Hewn from an opaque light grey quartz, it bears green traces on one side which are remains of malachite, a product often used in cosmetics by A-Group people.

Cette palette à fard conçue sur le modèle des palettes en forme de losange tronqué du Groupe A, a plutôt une forme sub-rectangulaire. De facture plus grossière que ces dernières, elle est aussi plus épaisse. Taillée dans un quartz opaque gris pâle, elle porte sur une face des traces vertes qui sont des restes de malachite, un produit couramment utilisé comme fard par la population du Groupe A.
