Block, Wood
Artifact
2015.1.40
Solid wood rectangular block. Front: The wood is stained green on the raised relief sections. The bottom 2/3 of the block is half of an oval shape. Carved into the oval is the word "Entertainment" written backwards and stained yellow. The left corner of the first "n" sweeps down towards the bottom edge and makes a loop at the bottom center. Half carved into the top section of the oval but half sitting on the top of the oval are the letters "dlehour". Yellow stain is present around the letters, and on top are 19 straight lines, like rays from the sun. These lines are etched with the linear grooves surrounding them. In the grooves are blue, yellow and red stains. The lines are spaced approximately 1.5cm apart. In the bottom left and right corners are small carved areas that set the edge of the oval. The back and sides of this piece are covered with residual stain but no other markings.
