Tree Root
A gnarled, pale-grey tree root carved into a towering, open silhouette rises from a black carved stand with scalloped edges. Its surface is pitted, hollowed and folded into deep cavities and sharp ridges, lit softly against a grey backdrop.
Look closer: The scalloped, carved edges of the black base frame the root's foot.
