Remarks

This circular tool is made of a dense porous stone. Given the weight of the object it is clear that the raw material is not pumice, but slag. The stone was worked into a round shape that easily fits inside the palm of one's hand. The evidence of use and shape of the object suggests that it was some kind of grinder or polisher. The object is flat on one side and round on the other.
