Description

It is a rectangular block of wood with a carved relief of the letter "R" backwards. The surface is stained dark blue but the colour is less potent/faded in some areas. The old accession number was written on a sticker placed on the bottom edge. The back is minimally stained and is just smudged with dark blue ink. On the top right corner there is a small carved groove. There is also a addition equation written on the back in pencil.
