A modest weathered wooden figure stands in 1:1 square composition holding its coat open to shelter a smaller cowering wooden child tucked beneath the fabric at its side, a heart-shaped opening carved in the larger figure's chest revealing a solid warm gold heart glowing softly from within. The larger figure's two carved hands grip the coat's front edges, on each hand four fingers curled around the fabric edge and the thumb braced outside it. Exactly five digits visible or anatomically accounted for.
The two figures are isolated on a fully transparent background, alpha equals zero, not white, not colored, with no checkerboard pattern and a real alpha channel, the whole group standing fully inside the frame with clear margin on all sides. A soft contact shadow in semi-transparent black rests in the alpha channel beneath their feet, darkest at contact and fading outward. The wood carries no carving of letters, no tag and no printed surface of any kind, and no text, logos or extra subjects appear anywhere.
Gentle directional light warms the gold heart and the weathered grain so the sheltering gesture and the inner glow read clearly together. Sculptural editorial photography in close three-quarter view, the whole image an isolated cutout asset.
