Description

An oval object with a rounded, slightly uneven surface, shown on a grey card with a pale border. A horizontal groove crosses the middle and a vertical line runs down the lower half, dividing the surface into sections. A dark rounded spot sits on the upper right, and a notched rectangular shape appears at the top edge; the surface looks worn and the photograph is soft.
