A bundle of sticks carved or cast from chalk, a soft mineral that marks stone, parchment, and leather. Chalk is used by masons and builders to mark stone for cutting, by merchants to mark crates, and by soldiers to mark routes and boundaries. Travelers and scholars carry chalk to mark trail markers or make notes on slate tablets; it washes away with water and does not bleed like ink.
