Very lovely palette for cosmetics in the shape of a truncated oval. Hewn from an opaque quartz, the colour of which varies from light grey to very light brown-grey, it is slightly curved at the edges. This type of artefact was used to grind green (malachite) or black (galena) cosmetics, traces of which are often found on such objects, however this is not the case here.

Très belle palette à fard en forme d'ovale tronqué. Taillée dans un quartz opaque dont la couleur varie du gris pâle au gris-brun très pâle, elle est légèrement vrillée. Ce type d'artefact était utilisé pour broyer les fards de couleur verte (malachite) ou noire (galène), dont on retrouve souvent les traces sur l'objet, ce qui n'est pas le cas ici.
