It is a rectangular block of wood with a hand carved relief of the number "5" backwards (movable typeface). The relief is dark burgundy/purple and the carved down portion is a matte dark brown/purple and carving marks evident. The back appears to have been part of another block due to partial carvings on the back. The letters are "EASON" backwards. The relief/ negative space is matte teal green.
