- Description
- A solid style, sand cast brick from an unknown architectural structure. The brick is rectangular in shape and is dark reddish brown in color with some wear and losses on the surfaces and edges. About three quarters of one of the brick’s faces is covered in thick grayish white mortar. The mortar bulges near the center of the face. The other face is plain with some black spotting and a small patch or mortar residue along one stretcher edge. There’s a small loss on one of the stretcher surfaces near one header end. One long edge of the other stretcher side juts slightly outwards. There are air bubbles and firing marks visible on all six sides of the brick.
