The bottom object is a uniformly cream to off-white ovoid, also approximately 2-3 cm in length, with a smooth surface. Its uppermost portion appears fractured or removed, consistent with a peeled or broken shell. Minor dark particulate matter is visible on the surface of the cream-colored object. The two objects rest on the central palm and base of the fingers. The background is a uniformly dark, out-of-focus plane, providing no additional environmental context.
