A square woodblock of dark brown wood is carved with deep, angular gouges. Three vertical clusters of interlocking triangles and sharp, jagged lines dominate the surface, creating a dense geometric texture from bottom to top. Recessed cuts reveal lighter wood and subtle red undertones. The patterns vary in depth, forming a rhythmic composition of overlapping shapes that give the object a rugged, relief-like appearance and complex surface detail.
