An arc photo slate: a plate with a flat base and a semicircular top, printed in full colour with your photograph. Three sizes are made. Charcoal stone deepens every colour printed on it.
The flat bottom edge is the point. A semicircle stands on a shelf, a mantel or a windowsill without a stand and without leaning, which no round or oval plate does. It is also the traditional shape of a house name plate and a garden marker, where the flat edge sits against a wall or a post.
The curve takes the top of the image and the straight base gives a clean line to put wording on. That is a more useful division than it sounds: an arc plate will take a photograph and a house name, or a picture and a date, without either crowding the other. A rectangle gives the same room but without the shape saying anything.
The photograph is printed in full colour onto the slate face rather than cut into it. Dark stone pulls pale tones down, so the picture arrives deeper and quieter than it looks on a screen, with the riven texture faintly visible underneath. White lettering on the base reads clearly where pale colour would not. Split along its grain rather than sawn, each plate keeps a riven edge, and no two are identical.
The curve takes the top corners of whatever is sent, so send a photograph with sky, ceiling or open space at the top rather than a face close to the upper edge. Anything important in the top corners will be gone.
Send the full-size original rather than a reshared copy. It stands unaided on its straight base, which is the practical advantage of this outline over the fully cut shapes.
The arc is bought for two different reasons: as a shape in its own right, and as a plate with a usable flat band for an inscription. If the wording matters more than the outline, the plain rectangle gives a bigger band and a bigger picture. If the shape is the point, this is the one that still stands up on its own.
The photograph is sublimated onto the slate face. Colour Enhancement is an optional extra, $1.99 per image.
