A horizontally oriented charcoal wood carving depicts an abstract maritime scene. On the left, a large notched shape resembling a ship sits beneath sharp diagonal lines. To the right, a smaller boat-like form rests above jagged horizontal markings. A many-sided sun with radiating lines dominates the upper right. The composition is defined by deep, sharp-edged carvings and a visible vertical wood grain throughout the dark surface.
