Smithsonian Institution Physical Description
A saucer-shaped, circular object which is intrically carved as one piece with a 5.125" inner disk shape with 1.5" center hole. There is an usually-shaped 4.0" depression which appears smooth. Since the object is supposed to be circular (based on Langley objects of this type), the depression may be the result of the object being damaged and then prepared for some type of repair.
