Dear All

I need some help identifying a Columbarium – I think – that was trawled
off the Mozambique coast, I have a scan available should anybody like to
see it. Unfortunately I don’t have the means to publish it for everybody
to see, but I will be glad to forward it to anybody interested. You can
request a scan at [log in to unmask] .

The detail is as follows:

        Predominant sculpture:                  Spiral
        Spiral sculpture dorsal slope:  3 strong cords
        Spiral sculpture ventral slope: Obsolete
        Profile of whorl:                               Flat, shell
conical
        Axial sculpture dorsal slope:           None
        Axial sculpture ventral slope:  None
        Number of axials:                               0
        Position of periphery:                  At bottom of whorl
        Shape of peripheral projections:        14 small rounded lobes
        Suture:                                 Straight

Any help would be appreciated.
