Linocut block print

Linocut block print depicting a Paleolithic cave wall, the carved markings of an ancient hand revealed by torchlight — overlapping incised strokes and a vertical striped panel cut into living rock. Bold black contour shapes against a single oxblood ink, gouge marks visible as white slivers tracing the engraved lines, paper-grain texture and a hand-pressed feel. A small kneeling figure at the lower margin reaches toward the wall, dwarfed by the monumental striated surface that fills the upper two-thirds. The single short word 'WITNESS' carved in rough block letters across the bottom band. 9:16 portrait phone wallpaper.
