notes: label: Description
content: A solid style brick from an unknown architectural structure. The brick is rectangular in shape and its color is primarily grayish brown with some areas of reddish-brown visible in a small exposed area. The brick is roughly textured with significant wear and losses on the surfaces and edges. One of the brick’s faces has small grayish-white patches of mortar on the surface, towards the center and along one stretcher edge. The other face has a thick layer of mortar that covers most of the surface. There are some areas dark brown and black burn marks on the mortar, particularly at one corner and at the middle of one stretcher edge. Both stretchers and one header also have black burn marks on their surfaces. The other header has a small scratch in the middle of a long edge that shows the reddish brick below.
