This is a steatite slab carved out round in the shape of a mirror. Of the ritual sites on Okinoshima, these show up at site number 21. For the holes that are meant to depict buttons, a very small portion of these feature two holes, but most of them are single-holed. These range in size from those under a diameter of 5cm to those with a diameter of more than 10cm.
