The digits 1 to 9 and 0 hand carved on purple Welsh slate.
It's not always about the letters. We inherited most of our alphabet from the Romans, but our Arabic numerals (the clue is in the name) came from... Arabia. They appeared increasingly widely in Europe from the C15th. This sampler has the digits hand carved on purple Welsh slate.
