Description: A knobbed pounder formed of close grained basalt. The knob at the top joins the neck at a slope, its upper part is convex, giving the knob a general rounded appearance. The neck, circular in section, slopes down into the shaft, which gradually increases in diameter, but with enough length to form a convenient grip. The lower end flares outward meeting the circular under surface at a distinct edge, forming a convex pounding surface which is very smooth on this example.
