A horizontally oriented woodblock carved in dark wood depicts a village church through faceted, geometric shapes. Sharp, angular cuts define a tall tower on the left and a central building with a large arched entrance. Overlapping triangular roofs and rectangular windows fill the center, while horizontal grooves texture the top and bottom edges. Visible chisel marks create a pattern of raised and recessed forms across the dark surface, emphasizing the block's relief.
