The border is uneven and slightly wavy, and the corners are rounded. There is the indent of a circle on the right portion of the front space. Sides: There is a label with the previous number on it on the bottom side of the wood block. There is a spot of dark blue ink and a finger print on the top side.

There are two lines of cuts in the wood right beside the tape; one is 9.0cm long and the one below it is 2.5cm long. There are remnants of another piece of paper on the top left corner.
