A friend pottery sherd is a pottery sherd that depicts the unibrow and nose of a villager or iron golem. The design features a unibrow spanning the entire forehead and lacks a mouth, making the icon particularly similar to the facial features of an iron golem. However, this is difficult to determine with certainty. It can be found in trail ruins.
