Description

Front: The image on the front is of the fair/circus grounds negative carved space, stained green and the relief pieces stained yellow. There is a 13.0 cm long section of the right side that is cut out. Each angles in for 4 cm before straightening out into one 6.0 cm long side. Beginning from this side is a raised section with no identifiable shape. It is roughly 5.0 cm wide and 6.0cm tall (if you include a flame like shape that is on the top). In the right side of this shape is a 1.5 cm wide X 2.0 cm tall hole in the shape of an upside-down "9". This shape acts as a base for a 15.3 cm tall pole. Near the very top of this pole is a 5.2 cm wide ring with 5 triangle-like shapes hung around it. The top points of these triangles are cut off. It appears to be some kind of ride at a fair. Below the ring to the right are 8 raised dots placed sporatically. To the left of the pole is a 17 cm tall by 8.5 cm wide oval-like shape (except for the top and bottom ends being cut off) filled with similar raised small dots. In this shape are 6 chiseled out circles. Continuing on to the left is another fair ride with a 13.5 cm tall pole as the base. On top of this pole is a 6.5 cm x 1.8 cm tall cone with 8 lines angled from top to bottom in it. Thre are 6 other poles hanging down from the cone with 3 having a container in the shape of a boat or plane at the bottom. There are 3 small raised dots near the top left edge. 11.8 cm from the top edge is an 11 cm long triangle-like shape with a curvy bottom side. The top side is 8.0 cm long. Below this is a 7.6 cm long shape that can be described like a bird with an open wing span. Below it is a triangle-like shape starting at the left edge with a wavy top side. The bottom side is 2.9cm long. Moving upward and to the right a bit, there is a 5.5 cm long x 1.6 cm wide wavy line. To the right of this is a curve that leads into the top of something like a tent. The top is wavy and then angles down into something like a cone shape. It has 3 indented lines of various lengths which give the cone a (horizontal) tiered look. Below it are two lines both 0.5 cm wide, but the one on the left is 5.5 cm long and the one on the right is 5.0 cm long. Off to the left a little more is another line that is 2.5 cm long. Beside (to the right) of the cone are four small raised dots in a vertical line. Sides: The previous temporary number is written on the left side on a label. Back: There is a piece of masking tape on the top edge near the left with "DAG 307" written on it in red ink. Beside it (to the right) is a pencil drawn "T". Across the middle "Yellow" is handwritten in pencil. The previous temporary number is written in permanent marker on the bottom edge. There is a strip of paper that runs along the entire left edge. On the left side where there is a section cut out, there are incisions at each corner.
