An open book features an ink drawing on two tan pages depicting two figures rendered in minimalist dark lines. On the left page, a man with light skin stands in profile facing our left, bent deeply at the waist. On the right page, a second man sits on the ground looking up as a square grid board, a fan, and small dark objects tumble through the air.
