Description: | A small fragment of slate engraved with vertical and double horizontal lines, forming what appears to be a type of table. There are rounded dots that look like they are part of this table but they are actually natural indentations in the slate. This slate was probably part of a writing slate, in use in schools and work places from the later 18th Century. Writing slates were available in various designs, some being lined, other divided into squares and some even with maps on them. This slate may have been used for accounting or mathematics in the school or the workplace during the Victorian period.
