Description

Four weathered wooden pieces are laid side by side on a light grey surface, arranged in a loose vertical stack. The top piece is a flat, broad plank-like fragment with a torn edge, the second is narrower and tapers to a point at its left end, the third is thick and rounded with one squared end, and the bottom piece tapers to a blunt point at its right end. The surfaces are dark, cracked and rough, with pale patches of deposit.
