Description

A small, rounded object with a dark surface and pale mottled patches is photographed head-on against a grey background. A large dark opening sits off-centre on its face, with a rim of lighter material around it. A small white speck lies at the lower edge, and the print is mounted on a pale card with a handwritten fragment at the bottom.
