It is a rectangular block of wood with a carved relief of the letter "J" backwards (movable typeface). The surface is smooth/glossy as the original coat of varnish is still evident. The relief is red, light and dark orange. The carved down portion is dark red and black with a layer of dirt. The back is discoloured by dirt/grime and marked by faded red, black and brown pigment.
