This is a vertical, multi-panel artwork, likely a woodcut or similar print, characterized by strong contrasts and white outlines on dark figures against a light background. The style is consistent with the work of Brazilian artist Kare Thaus. Such works are commonly exhibited in cultural institutions in São Paulo, Brazil, including the **Museu Afro Brasil in Ibirapuera Park**. The upper panel, a dark rectangle, contains a coiled brown snake with a red mouth, positioned beneath a stylized, ornate vessel or bust featuring a face and intricate designs. Partial Portuguese text, including "Cotiana," "Surucu," and "CRUZEIRO," is integrated into this panel. Two green cacti partially flank the panel. The central and dominant section depicts a silhouetted human figure, possibly male, reclining or seated, with white outlines. Facial markings include a star on the forehead and a cross below the eye. The figure wears an earring, a cross necklace, and a pentagram pendant. Armbands are present. The figure's right arm is connected to chains or shackles that attach to a circular, wheel-like medallion. The signature "Kare Thaus" appears below the figure. The lower section presents a stylized, elongated creature resembling a snake, with a red-tipped head and segmented body. A partial signature, "F. Bernardo da M***", is visible below it. The background throughout the artwork consists of soft, graduated grey and white tones, with cloud-like patterns.
