This image shows a woodblock print, which is a relief carving used historically for printing images, text, or patterns. The carving is of an individual in what appears to be traditional East Asian attire, possibly a warrior given the helmet-like headgear and the perceived armor elements. The subject has an expressive face captured in profile, looking to the left of the image.

The woodblock itself has a diamond or rhombus-like shape set within a rectangular block of wood, and the relief image seems to be carved with great detail, allowing for intricate prints. There's visible Chinese script on the right-hand side, which might indicate the title of the work, the artist's name, or other relevant information, but specific identification would require knowledge of the language and script.

Considering its function, the negative space (the carved-out areas) is where the paper would not pick up ink, leaving those areas blank, while the raised, uncarved portions would transfer the ink to the paper creating the printed image.

The carving shows a seated figure in traditional Japanese dress, likely a geisha or courtesan, depicted in profile view.

The wood block itself appears to be well-preserved, though there is some darkening and wear visible at the edges.
