A horizontally oriented woodcut in black ink depicts a central reclining figure rendered in stark, white hatched lines. To the right, three dark-skinned figures sit together, watching. In the upper left, a circular emblem inscribed with "PGO" is framed by leaf-like projections, while the words "TE PO" appear in the lower left. Rhythmic strokes and high-contrast light define the scene against a solid black background.
