A vertically oriented sepia-toned photogravure depicts a barefoot figure in profile facing our left. They wear a textured fiber hood, wrap, and frayed skirt. Their right hand holds a tall staff while their left hand grips a curved tool. A heavy pack of layered bark is strapped to their back. Mossy textures define a large rock face on our left, while dense foliage fills the background. Text is printed in the wide margins.
