Brown square stencil with rounded corners and slightly rough edges. The center of the stencil features a large rectangle comprised of numerous parallel horizontal lines. Some of the horizontal lines are complete, while others are broken up into short line segments. The area of the stencil with the horizontal lines is divided into thirds vertically. The top and bottom thirds have horizontal lines made up of short line segments. The middle third has complete horizontal lines. The background behind the stencil is white.
