Primary Materials: Wood

This object is likely for the display of an object that fits into the circular indentation.
Good: The wood is chipped in places, particularly around the edge and around the rim of the indentation. There is a split in the centre of the indentation. Both the chips and the split have been painted over, suggesting they occurred before the wood was painted (or repainted).
