It is a rectangular block of wood with a carved relief of a zero (or less likely the letter "O")/ The relief surface appears to be varnished or polished and machine carved due to the lack of errors and overall consistency. The relief is orange with black scratches and marks of red and black ink. The carved down area is dark red with a buildup of dirt around the edges of the "8" and chipping of the paint on the block corners. The back has raised curved horizontal lines of the entire block's surface and marked with black and red ink.
