Summary
A large found stone, with two naturally formed holes, one fully open and the other partially. Mounted on a rectangular stone block. The stone was found on a beach in Normandy by Mrs Ursula Goldfinger, who brought it back to London. Mrs Goldfinger liked to make a joke of her found object, which some guests of the family assumed was a contemporary work of art.

Found by Mrs Ursula Goldfinger on a beach in Normandy. Bequeathed to the National Trust by Ernö Goldfinger (1902-1987) and Ursula Ruth Blackwell, Mrs Ernö Goldfinger (d.1991), formally acquired in 1994.
