This truncated diamond-shaped palette for cosmetics was hewn from an opaque quartz, the colour of which varies from light grey to light brown. 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.

Cette palette à fard en forme de losange tronqué a été taillée dans un quartz opaque dont la couleur varie du gris pâle au brun pâle. 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.
