Top edge has broken off (2015.1.125b ii), but if it was still attached there would be 2 cut outs of 21cm wide by 19cm long in the top left section cut out on a diagonal. The bottom left section depicts a less detailed version of the HULA stand (mentioned in 2015.1.125c).

The bottom border is 32.7cm long, 2.9cm wide and on the right side has the clowns feet. From the feet is a detailed outline of a chubby clown 32cm tall with 22 circles carved into his clown suit. The clown is 16cm at the feet, 10.5cm across the missile and keeps narrowing to the top of his hat. Sides: have black ink marks in the wood grain Back: "215" written in top left side and bottom right. Block ii Broken off of the top of 2015.1.125b (i).
