Notes (Hamnet):
Condition reviewed on the back one can see traces where two braces, roughly 23 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches, were placed horizontally across the top and bottom of the panel, each secured by 8 nails. Two large iron eyes for hooks are still affixed to each side of the panel slightly above its center. Around the circumference, which is 1 inch thick, are 44 nail holes. In some cases, the nails are still there, and it would appear they held a rim that was part of a metal support. MOdern accretions are staples and a screw with wire a little over 4 inches from the top
