A square, dark brown woodblock depicts an abstract harbor scene through deep, angular carvings. In the center, a horizontal form with square cutouts suggests a ship, flanked by vertical protrusions resembling masts and buildings. To the left, a large triangular shape anchors the foreground. Rough chisel marks and visible grain texture the weathered surface, creating a complex pattern of intersecting lines and geometric shapes within the square composition.
