Ornament1373/47

Round, convex, white-brown carved and coloured object with a zigzag border encompassing it. The main body consists of a circle divided in a tic-tac-toe manner by two sets of parallel lines. The centre square has a diamond shape carved in it, with four more diamonds carved in the squares adjacent to the central diamond's four corners.

All of the shapes are coloured with double, grey, thick, pencil-like lines and are deeply carved, creating negative space around them. The top of the object features a protruding, angular design with two small carved circles and a small triangular hole at the apex.
