A tall, narrow panel presents three circular crowned faces stacked vertically within a repeating wavy field, each face rendered with large almond eyes, simple noses and decorative round frames. The work uses a limited, earthen palette of ochre, brown, green and orange with crisp black outlines and concentric border bands, producing a serene, talismanic rhythm down the length of the piece. The stylized visages and ornamental framing read like protective or votive icons, executed with an economy of means that highlights pattern and symmetry.

The vertical procession and the steady hand of the line work make this piece feel both ceremonial and intimate, a small-scale object of folk devotion or ornament.
