Summary
A large wooden roughly circular chopping block mounted on three simple cylindrical, splayed, wooden legs. The block itself is a thick section of the trunk of a tree. Growth rings are visible as concentric circles on the upper surface along with signs of wear and damage from knife and cleaver use. The bottom edge of the block has been chamfered inwards.
