A dark woodblock carving depicts stylized, geometric figures under an oval sun. Deep, jagged chisel marks score the horizontal surface, creating a heavily textured, faceted appearance. Long, straight grooves radiate diagonally from the central oval, cutting across the background. At the base, angular figures with blocky hats stand in a row. The darkened wood retains visible grain and deep grooves within the starkly recessed areas of the composition.
