This is a long, narrow wooden block with three rows of tiny raised dots. The dots form lines of text, like Braille but bigger. The wood is light brown, and the dots are dark. These dots aren’t random—they’re a way to print text in another language. The lines look like they’re part of an old book. Look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more like this.
