A tan limestone deposit (tufa, probably from a cave) with a waxy, convoluted and lumpy surface. The rock is broken in many places to reveal a strata-like inner structure with a whitish deposit of softer material between the strata following the shape of the convoluted surface.

Description
Two small fragments of hard ivory-like material with a smoothly polished outer surface: a) The inner sections of this piece show hard white material in roughly circular shapes with softer ivory coloured material between and dark spots at the centre. There is a small hole at the centre of each circular shape.b) The form of this piece follows the structure of the inner parts seen where the rock is broken off. There are hard undulating lines of hard white material alternating with softer ivory coloured material.
