Vintage 1971 Original Carving for Woodblock Print, Hand Holding Green Leaves

Description

I carved this 8" x 11" x .5" pine plank, depicting a Black/Brown hand holding green leafy branches, in a woodblock printmaking class I took in college in 1971.
The paint colors were originally applied with a brayer to produce the prints, one at a time. Still suitable for this purpose, although it remains an original decorative piece without using it for actual printmaking.
On the back is a pencil sketch of a deer with a crescent moon, which I started to carve but never finished.
