This finely designed and carved board is abstract, with complex interlocking linear designs overall on both the front and the back surfaces. Extensive traces of lime infill on one surface, and a small amount of remnant orange ochre. There is obvious wood loss on the reverse side, mostly near the top (see detail above).
