Title:   Step Block with Mason's Mark

For a distance of 0.330m. from front surface we have a raised area 0.013m. from finished top surface across block. This, and anathyrosis, suggests its original intention.
Front surface smooth picked with drafting all around. Cuttings for H-clamps. Pry and dowel cuttings in back.
