content: A solid style partial brick from an unknown architectural structure. The brick is rectangular in shape and is a bright reddish brown that is heavily mottled with dark reddish-brown discolorations. The brick is missing a corner and about one half of one of the brick’s faces. The damaged brick face has losses across the stretcher edge of the brick. The same face has a large patch of grayish white mortar with rock inclusions and dark discolorations. The mortar deposit is roughly U-shaped, dipping downwards from one corner, and then upwards towards the missing corner of the brick. The other face is heavily pockmarked and has losses along all four sides. The brick’s stretchers and headers are roughly textured with pitting and surface losses and losses along the edges. One header end has a black burn mark.
