Card/Transcription No.: 620(83) 


620-83


Red ochre in small lumps
Good, uniform dark red colour
From the rounded edges of the pieces and from the fineness of the
material it seems probable that it has been separated from
coarser material by levigation with water and then pressed
together while wet.
