Scope and Content

A slate inscribed on one side with overlapping Latin inscriptions, of which the phrases '…deo cui nomera erat' and '…gr[atia]m nocis apta[m] dimittere' are legible, together with the name 'rys ap gr'. In addition there are a number of parallel lines inscribed into the slate, with the two longest joined at one end in a curved 'm' shape, and part of a circular pattern. On the reverse are some geometrical patterns.
There is a reddish colour to the written side of the slate (dye or chalk, likely applied at NLW for previous exhibitions).
