It is a rectangular block of wood with a carved relief of the number "9" backwards. The surface is stained dark burgundy. like the other numbers in this collection, the proportions/ composition of the "9" is squished and odd looking. The back is stained dark red with a line of old masking tape across the block. The back side must have been part of another block at one point as partial letters are carved on the back. Though two lines of letters are distinguishable due to the making tape partially covering the carved letters and numbers. There are also remnants of glued paper.
