Description

A photograph of an oval, engraved object with dark incised lines on a pale ground, shown on a white paper sheet over a beige card. An outer rim follows the oval outline, and inside it curved and angular lines form a motif with a horizontal band across the middle. The lower half has a rounded, loop-like form, and the surface looks worn.
