Carved dark wood mancala board with a smooth glossy finish. It has a central band of decorative carving, with a floral motif at each end. There are also decorative borders between each section and around the edge. It is supported on four integral square legs. Underneath, there is a raised T-shape section, with a square void in the centre of the T, which extends deeper into the base of the board. There is also a slot in the top of the T. This suggests a drawer or container used to hold the seeds may have once been here. Three floral designs decorate the T-shape.
