A horizontally oriented etching in black ink depicts a winged child leaning over a large, ornate letter B at the center. The child holds a staff topped with two entwined snakes and wings. To our left, a stack of stone blocks rests on the ground. To our right, books and scrolls are scattered near leafy vegetation. Fine black lines create dense textures and shadows throughout the composition.
