Truncated diamond-shaped palette for cosmetics, carved from a translucent veined quartz. This type of artefact was used to crush green (malachite) and black (galena) mineral paints used as corporal ornament. Traces of these are often found on the object, however this is not the case here.

Palette à fard en forme de losange tronqué, taillée dans un quartz translucide veiné. Ce type d'artefact était utilisé pour broyer les fards vert (malachite) et noir (galène) destinés aux ornements corporels, dont on trouve souvent les traces sur l'objet, ce qui n'est pas le cas ici.
