Above it is about 3 intersecting lines. To the right of these lines is a triangle. 1.ocm from the top. Below it is a curve 2.5cm long. Along the right edge is a rectangle like shape about 4.5cm long. Below it is a 4 sided shape 3.0cm long. The linoleum is nailed to the wood block along the bottom edge by 5 nailes, and one nail visible near the top of the linoleum, centered above canopy. Back: "yellow" is handwritten in pencil sideways at the top in the middle. There is a label along the left side with the previous temporary number written on it. There are 2 strips of paper in the bottom left and right corners
