Description

A rounded, dark object with light and dark incised marks across its face fills most of the frame. The print is mounted on a grey card with a cream border, and its surface is cracked and flaking at the edges, especially on the left and right, where bluish patches show. The object is soft in focus, so its incised design is hard to read in detail.
