The brick is rectangular in shape and is reddish brown in color with some wear and losses on the surfaces and edges. Slightly more than half of one of the brick’s faces is covered in a thick layer of grayish white mortar with rock inclusions. The mortar bulges near the center of the face. The other face is entirely covered in a thick layer of mortar that bulges towards one of the headers. There are mortar patches at one header end on each stretcher side. The headers have significant surface losses and heavy corner wear.
