Description

An oval, convex object with rounded edges fills most of a grey photograph mounted on a pale card. Its surface shows raised, curving lines and bands running across it, with a looped or rounded motif on the right and diagonal strokes in the centre. Handwritten number labels in ink sit on the card below the photograph.
