Woodcut of a signpost with pots and text

This striking black and white woodcut features a rustic signpost with the text "LOKKICH NIJER" prominently displayed. Below the sign, a large, overturned pot rests on its side, accompanied by smaller stacked items that appear to be more pottery or containers. The artwork is framed by a jagged border, adding to its raw, artisanal feel. The bottom of the image includes text that reads "EWENDELAER BONGA" along with dates "1933 DOCKUM 1939". This piece evokes a sense of place and time, possibly representing a historical marker or a scene from a specific Dutch locale. The stark contrast and bold lines are characteristic of woodcut printing, emphasizing texture and form.
