Linocut block print

Linocut block print of a single coiled cobra rising vertically through the frame, its body wrapped around a punch-card style ration ticket held in its jaws, carved in bold black contour against a solid oxblood ink field with visible gouge marks and cream paper grain showing through as fine white slivers. The words "RATION CARD" are carved in blocky hand-pressed capitals across the top third, with a smaller subhead beneath reading "$200/week — GROK EXEMPT" set in the same carved lettering, and a small stamped box in the lower corner reading "APPROVAL REQUIRED." Flat hand-pressed lighting, no gradients, stark graphic contrast. 9:16 portrait phone wallpaper.
