A rectangular woodblock, a flat dark-brown panel, features a horizontal arrangement of deep gouges and overlapping linear marks. Warm amber wood grain shows through the incisions. On the left, thick vertical carvings define structured forms, while lines radiate from a single point near the bottom. Small rectangular notches and scratched textures punctuate the heavily worked surface, creating a complex, textured pattern across the entire horizontal plane.
