Context:
Eccentric flints are so-called for their unusual shapes, among them intricately silhouetted figures like this one. At the forehead of the main profile face is a smoking torch, the insignia of a deity (known today as God K) closely linked to rulers. Smaller faces appear on three protrusions. Some flints perhaps served as scepters; they also were buried as offerings beneath buildings and sculptures.
