In the top right there is a relief design measuring approximately 27.4cm wide by 8.5cm long--piece has jagged edges and acts as a base for text on the next block (2015.1.165d). 14.5cm down from the top left corner is another relief design which provides a backdrop for the carousel and fair tents from 2015.1.165a. The final relief section is 15.5cm long and forms a large arc shape (under the cutout sections from 2015.1.165a&b). The arc crosses the entire width of the block. Every other section is recessed.
