Complete, silcrete blade that is dark grey and mid grey in colour. It has cortex at the proximal end on the dorsal surface. There is flaking on the distal end of the dorsal surface, as well as minor flakes near the proximal end and the proper right lateral margin. There is bifacial retouching on the proper left lateral margin.

Complete black soapstone whio (whistle). Carved with a human face at one end, with projecting tongue. A drilled perforation at the top of the head for suspension, with another drill mark next to it, indicating a broken perforation. Body of the whistle is carved with spirals.

The bevel is a thin irregular ground band, distinct from the blade because of its surface. The cutting edge is curved, sharp and chipped.
