Description

A small object with a rounded knob at its upper left and a flat, rectangular-looking body, shown in close view and slightly out of focus. Its surface is mottled dark and pale, and any engraved design is hard to make out. The print sits on a grey card mount with a pale border, and a printed label is in the bottom right corner.
