  • Scratches and small imperfections.
  • Pale spots or areas of discoloration.
  • Faint markings or traces of decorative elements.
• Surface Features: There are markings on the shard that appear to be decorative elements, including linear and circular designs, as well as what looks like the remains of a stamped image.
