DescriptionTablet with abstract image. Possibly a container or bowl-shape at bottom holds two long organic shapes which expand as they extend upwards to the top of the tablet, somewhat resembling broad leaves. The possible bowl-shape at the bottom is at an angle. A small triangle is at the top of the tablet.
