A horizontally oriented woodblock carving with a blackened surface depicts a ship amidst dense, geometric lines. Left of center, the dark silhouette of a ship with square cutouts is surrounded by sharp, diagonal gouges. A circular form with radiating lines occupies the upper right corner. Deep incisions and rough tool marks create a heavily textured surface across the rectangular block.
