A vertical, carved woodblock depicts a bustling market in muted earth tones. In the center, a faceless figure in a reddish-brown top balances a wide tray atop their head. Nearby, another wears a pale blue shirt, while a third in dark robes walks along a cobbled path. Small figures gather near a background fountain. Deeply carved grooves and visible wood grain texture define the tan, blue, and red surfaces.
