Rectangular wood picture block. Front: block has been chiseled down leaving relief/raised designs. In the left half near the top is a large square cut out 20cm by 20cm which is tilted at a slightly right leaning diagonal. Around the edges is 2 raised/relief borders approximately 0.3cm or 0.4cm wide. This border continues across the top and down the right side of the square cut out. Connecting to the right edge around the cut out is the top half of a clown design that occupies the right side. The total length of the clown is 30.1cm from the tip of his hat down to the bottom of his feet, and about 8 cm across his middle and 15cm across his feet. To the right of the clown approximately 7.5cm up is the outline of a ferris wheel (very small about 5cm). Below this and moving behind the clown to the left edge is the outline of stands with a crowd in front. The stand to the left of the clown has a clock face and the stand to left of this reads "HULA" backwards. Sides have residual stain.
