A vertical, black-inked woodblock depicts a skeletal figure with prominent ribs lunging toward the right. Its torso and limbs are formed by raised surfaces as it grips a large, curved bow with an arrow. Recessed, light-brown wood reveals deep gouge marks and splintered textures across horizontal and vertical background lines. The figure's legs extend into a dark, ridged base, where chunks of wood have been removed to create a raw, chiseled finish.
