King, Andrew
1912 – 1958
It is a rectangular block of wood with a carved relief of the number "2" backwards. Due to the lack of errors and overall consistency it appears to be carved by machine. The surface of the relief is coloured a yellow/brown and not stained with ink which suggests it was not regularly used. Has black outlines water marks. The carved down surface is brown with black areas of black ink with a layer of dirt.
