A circular wood gaming piece depicts a woman facing our left toward a bearded man; a winged child stands between them holding a vessel. A foliage border frames the central scene, while Latin text is inscribed in an arc below a draped curtain. All figures have medium-light skin tones. The natural grain of the light-brown wood is visible throughout, with signs of subtle wear on the raised surfaces of the low relief.
