A rectangular woodblock carved from two stacked pieces and inked in black depicts a relief of stylized buildings. On our left, a large angular form rises. In the center stands a church with a spire, while taller structures with square window cutouts fill the space on our right. Sharp, jagged gouges reveal the light brown wood grain, creating a high-contrast geometric scene textured by horizontal and diagonal lines.
