A vertically oriented, black-and-white lithograph depicts five distorted figures within a dark, irregular shape. At the top, a large head in a pointed hood looks downward. Below, four figures cluster together; on our left, a hooded figure with a gaping mouth gazes toward the center. On the far right, a heavily shaded figure points an arm outward. Handwritten text and numbers appear in the lower margin.
