Fragment of stone, possibly a stone qulliq (lamp). Triangular shape retaining one of the original rounded outer edges and slightly tapering from the outer edge toward the centre of the stone lamp. The fragment shows signs of fire exposure and has a dark patina throughout the surface. The sides of more recent fractures expose the stone's crystalline composition.
