A vertically oriented woodblock carving with visible grain depicts a woman with medium-light skin tone facing right. Outlined in dark, carved grooves, she wears a red shirt and patterned headwrap. She uses a pole to hang colorful cloth strips from a rack, while a bowl of multicolored shapes sits below. Behind her, muted brown structures rest beneath teal mountains. The composition features stylized forms and a subdued, earthy color palette.
