Description

A rust-brown, mask-like human face with a spiral motif at its center forehead and incised linear patterns covering the cheeks and jaw, set against a solid dark indigo-black background. The face's irregular, jagged-edged silhouette suggests a broken or weathered fragment rather than a smooth oval. Woodblock print by Maki Haku, titled "71-2," year unknown.
