King, Andrew
1912 – 1958
It is a rectangular block of wood with a carved relief of the number "7" backwards. The surface of the relief is dark red and the negative space is burgundy. The back is covered in aged/worn making tape of paper. The tape/paper is covering the back surface and the carved letters. The letters are evident as the tape/paper is ripped off the bottom left corner showing a carved "A". Therefore, it can be inferred that the back side must have been part of another block at some point. ~root~>
