Front: It is an almost square wood block stained dark blue with the colour concentrated on the raised design. The image has a magic show theme to it. The raised wood is very intricate in the detailing. In the top right there is the design of a man's face with the dimensions 14.0cm wide x 13.0cm tall. Below his face there is a hand 9.0 cm x 8.5 cm holding a wand 22 cm long pointing down to a magic top hat. The rim is 20.2 cm long, and the base of the hat is 14.2cm x 13.0cm. There are two rectangles carved out of the base. The one on the right is 1.8cm wide and 8.2cm tall. The left one is 0.5cm wide and 7.5cm tall. The bottom of the hat is curved. To the left of the hat is an intricate outline of a 14.0 cm x 13.6 cm rabbit. Above its ears there is a clock 9.5 cm in diameter showing 5:15 as the time. The top left of the clock is separating and floating away. There is another clock floating out of the hat with the time 2:03. Continuing on behind the clock is an intricate outline of a bouquet of flowers. They continue up for about 20.0 cm and are 14.0 cm wide. Above the flowers is another clock 10.0 cm in diameter. It has a small wing on the left side. The time shown is about 4:00. Along the top edge, to the left of the clock, there is the outline of a flying dove 16.7cm long and 13.0 cm tall. Above the dove's head there is the outline of the bottom of a clock. There are three raised dots near the left edge towards the bottom. Sides: There is a stop of masking on the bottom side with "No Access #" written on it in blue ink. Back: The back has been painted with a thick white paint.
