Extensively retouched. Two point indentations close to each other in the upper area of the extended elbow (perhaps 3mm in diameter each) are very visible, but appear not to have broken the emulsion.

Stress-marked at the left side (in the area where the stone gives way to shingle on the beach) along a length of perhaps 2cms.
