2015.1.57
Rectangular wood block. Front: it is a red rectangle with a curvy line going from the bottom right side/edge to the top left corner and top edge. The bottom right is 43.4cm wide. The top left is 37.4cm wide. Etched into the top right is the backwards word "TOP", and below it is a backwards "2" etched into the wood. There are 4 grooves in the top right that are about 4.0cm apart from each other. Sides: on the right side the previous temporary number is written on a label on the top and in permanent marker at the bottom. Back: The number "2" is written with green marker in the bottom left corner upside down. Beside it is a smaller "2" in a circle also in green. A circle surrounds both of these numbers. Below this "6-Sheet" is handwritten upsidedown in pencil. Block is 1 of 6 that would make up the number "2" for a very large sign (6 sheets).~root~>
