John 15:13, Hebrews 9:28Nb7.238

The head of crucified Christ is portrayed through the use of traditional Northwest Coast elements of design. The red form line defines the features of the face and molds the negative white space into ovoids, split u's, and s forms that represent the hair, the crown of thorns, and the expression of agony. A four way split forms a cross on the chin. A stabilizing effect is achieved by the six split lines emerging from the head. Pencil inscription across the bottom reads 'JOHN 15:13 HEBREWS 9:28 Roy Henry Vickers 14/7/76'. The print is on a vertically rectangular, light white paper piece.
