content: Style: Perforated Raw Material: Siltstone or Sandstone Luster: Dull Broken: Yes Element: Inner flange, perf & section outer flange Manufacturing Notes: Ridges on central pulley surface suggest a fine or narrow instrument was used to carve out the pulley. Comments: Somehow the pulley is carved out using an instrument which leaves tool marks on the pulley and also striae spiralling out from pulley. A cord w/ abrasive would not leave such marks on the pulley surface, but might produce the spiral effect. An interesting technological device? Part 3 of 19
