Two triangular stone sails rise over a low, slanted hull riding a vibrant yellow ground, a thin orange-red waterline between hull and sails and a crescent moon held high at the upper right against a stippled navy-dark sea below. The translucent cream and tan stone carries warm brown veining, signed Pollica in yellow at the lower left.
