The marks are bold and the ground is bark, with the pigment sitting matte and chalky against its natural texture. The design reads most closely to the Sepik region tradition.

It is framed in wood and stands vertical at almost five feet, a size that holds its own on a tall wall. The ringed eyes draw the viewer in from across a room, and the crossed center gives the eye a place to rest. Hang it alone over a console or as the single large piece in an entry.
