Description

A wooden board painted with two sets of zigzags and black lines on one side. Black lines form rectangular sections with one section toward either end being entirely painted black. Other areas and the reverse are all painted a reddish brown. Each end of the board narrows, one end to a rectangular point and the other to a grooved, knobby point.
