About this work

This image shows a black-and-white figure standing tall with a halo-like shape behind its head. The person holds a staff and wears a robe covered in geometric patterns—dots, lines, and zigzags. The face has bold, simplified features, and there’s a small bird perched on the shoulder. The design looks hand-carved, with thick, uneven lines that give it a textured feel. The patterns might represent religious symbols or clothing details. Try looking up woodcut to see how this kind of printmaking works.
