The background is textured with horizontal lines and darker swirling strokes toward the upper right where a crescent shape appears against the sky. Jagged, root-like lettering appears across the upper left and lower left areas, and twisted, branchy lines extend from those letters. The creature’s body and the rocky surfaces are detailed with cross-hatching and contour lines, and the overall image has an aged, worn paper appearance.
