Description

It is a rectangular block of wood with a carved relief of the number "7" backwards. The surface of the relief is stained dark red and the carved portion is minimally stained with light red ink. It appears to be hand carved due to the the visible roughly carved marks and minimal errors. The back is marked with a buildup of grime and drops of black ink. There is no old accession number in any form on the block.
