Naturally weathered smooth surface, with both faces slightly convex, the sides straight. Both faces have the same usewear. The surfaces adjacent to the sides are abraded/smoothed, with fine unidirectional striations across the width. These worn zones are uniformly parallel to the tool's sides and convex end. Similar wear is beside the convex end, with striations perpendicular to it. Some of this wear continues right across the surface, particularly near the broken end. The broken end may have been used after it was broken as its edges are scarred, and one face near it is also pitted. There is less wear on the actual rounded edges. An unusual (unique?) example.
