AI description
The image depicts a large, irregularly shaped piece of wood, likely a cross-section of a tree trunk. The surface of the wood is rough and natural, showcasing its organic texture. Inscribed on the wood are faded letters and numbers, indicating it is a specimen label. The text includes phrases such as "GIGANTEA," "SPECIMEN OF," and "SECTION CUT FROM BASE," along with a date "15.3.31" and initials "G.F." The background is black, which contrasts with the warm tones of the wood, drawing attention to the inscriptions.
