This printing block is made from wood and is a rectangle with yellow paint on the carved designs with traces of the colour all over Front: the first carved design is a circle 4.5cm in diameter. It is 1.5cm away from the left edge and 5.1cm from the bottom edge. The next carved design is a long curve with several different attatchments as it moves from the bottom left area to the top right area. The 0.4cm wide line begins 1.0cm above the bottom edge; it then curves until it reaches the right edge 7.5cm from the top edge. 2.5cm from the start a 0.7cm wide line moves out left for 3.0cm; above it is a 2.0cm long wavy line and 2 small circles. 4.5cm up the curve line, another 0.4cm wide line angles downward for 5.5cm. A small triangle is in the corner between the curved line and the attatched line. There is another attatched line 16.0cm down the line. They look similar to spokes on a wheel (ferris wheel?). There is a circle 1.8cm in diameter in between the two 'spokes' in the empty space. A 1-1.8cm wide wavy line intersects the curved line to attatch to the second 'spoke' 25.5cm up the curve there is a short attatched line or spoke 1.0cm long. On its left side there is a 1.0cm triangle attatched to it. Right beside that there is a design with two small curves as a top with two straight lines on the side and bottom to make it one closed shape. The larger curve is 1.0cm from top to bottom, and the smaller curve is 0.5cm from top to bottom. There is another 0.4cm wide line 4.5cm from the bottom edge at its beginning at the left edge; it declines for 4.0cm until the bottom is 2.0cm from the bottom edge of the block. Side: on the bottom side there is a label with the previous temporary number written on it Back: there is a piece of tape in the top right with "DAG 370" written on it. The previous temporary number is written on the left side in black marker.

Notes: Numbers listed are the maximum measurements in each category. The height measurement refers to the thickness of the wood block. The measurement of the length measures the distance across the block; the width measures from top to bottom and is the longest measurement of the three.
