Dark brown stain covers this vertical woodblock, deeply carved with sharp, angular gouges. On the left, a tall, flat-topped form anchors the composition, while pointed, rooftop-like structures fill the center and right. Small recessed squares, suggesting windows, punctuate the overlapping geometric shapes. Rough tool marks across the surface create a dense, layered pattern of raised and sunken areas, giving the relief a fractured, architectural feel.
