*Picture block* Tongue and groove joined square wood block. This block is the third block in a 3 block series. This means that the images made by the relief wood are not clear because they fill in the outlines made by 2015.1.192a or negative space. Front: The recessed areas are stained green, and the relief sections are stained yellow. There is what appears to be a carousel 6cm from the bottom edge beginning from the left edge. It measures 16.4cm wide by 13.2cm long (tall). The top half is the relief outline of the top part of a tent, and the bottom half fills in the negative space around the carousel ponies. To the right is a 12.7cm long horizontal relief line that is curved at the ends. Below are 8 relief pieces of different sizes and shapes in an area of 16.8cm wide by 3.0cm long (tall). The recessed wood all around these relief shapes is done in grooves. Directly below is a 1.4cm wide relief curve that stretches from the bottom left corner to the bottom right corner. In the middle it is 4.3cm from the bottom edge. Below this curve there are 3 relief sections of no identifiable shapes. The first is approximately 7.7cm wide by 3.7cm long; the second measures approximately 2cm wide by 0.7cm long, and the third measures approximately 10 cm wide by 2.9cm long. Above the right corner of the curve, along the right edge, there is the top half of a rectangle 7cm wide by 3.5cm long on the right. The bottom edge of it curves with the relief curve below it. 4.8cm above this are 5 different sized rectangles in a space measuring 5cm wide by 5.4cm long/tall. Above and to the left is a 0.3cm wide by 12.5cm long flaming candle. Sides: There is a label on the bottom side with the previous temporary number written on it. Back: Strip of masking tape with "DAG 310" written on it in red marker. Below it, the previous temporary number is written in pencil directly on the wood. There are 2 metal hooks on the top, one in each corner.
