Swirling cream lines flow across a deep navy ground like carved woodcut grain, bending around three round cells filled with fine radial veins. Those circular medallions disguise the finder squares, while the data modules are carried by inky black blotches shaped like branching roots. Strong contrast between the pale linework and the dark masses keeps the module pattern distinct inside the busy texture. The thin parallel strokes give the whole piece a hand-engraved, tidal feel.
