Description

It is a rectangular block of wood with a hand carved relief of the letter "O". Half of the relief is dark blue and appears to be varnished. On the other half of the relief it appears someone began to sand the varnish off. The carved portion is a dull dark blue and is covered in a layer of dirt. The back is stained dark teal with orange patches. The back side must have been part of another block at one point at one point as there are partial letters carved on the back (letters cut off and unreadable). Top and bottom edges chipped.
