A horizontal, rectangular dark brown woodblock is carved in dense, low relief. Deeply gouged lines and raised strips create a jagged, layered texture across the surface. To the upper left, a slanted rectangle sits slightly raised. On the right, a large triangular form resembles a peaked roof. Interlocking geometric elements fill the composition from edge to edge, suggesting architectural shapes carved into the uniform, dark-toned wood.
