Description

A cylindrical object with rounded ends lies horizontally and fills most of the print. Two pale bands run around the body near each end, and the dark surface carries a design of rounded, raised shapes across the centre, with some wear and pitting. The print is mounted on a pale card with a yellowish-grey border, and the image is slightly soft.
