Since it was enclosed in a glass case I can only give a general description.
It appeared to be approximately 8 inches square with a circular depression O
whose edges were approximately 1/2 inch from the edge. In the upper left hand
corner was a smaller circular depression approximately 1 1/2 inches in
diameter. The thickness appeared to be about 3/8 inches thick with the lowest
part of the depressions about 3/16 inches thick.
The type wood was not mentioned although it appeared to be grained like oak
with the grain running lengthwise front to back. The edges of the depressions
were NOT straight from top to bottom but appeared to be gently tapered or
rounded into the center.
There was no evidence of warping but it was a very dark rich brown color
which, I assume, is due to prior use and several hundred years of
environmental exposure.
The time frame was late 16th to early 17th century CE (Elizabethan). The
original location of the object was England.
If any one would like a simple schematic of it I can send a GIF or JPG
attachment to him/her.
