Detailed Description
A vertical image shows a white egret standing beneath a flowering plant against a plain, muted brownish-gray background. The flowering plant dominates the right side, extending from the top edge to the bottom edge. It features a dark, gnarled stem or trunk from which numerous large, light green, lobed leaves grow. Several prominent white, open flowers with visible stamens are scattered among the leaves, along with a few smaller buds. At the bottom center-right, a white egret stands on one slender leg, with its other leg tucked beneath its body. The bird faces left, displaying a long, dark, pointed beak and small crest feathers on its head. Its plumage is white and appears detailed. The background is a uniform, slightly mottled brownish-gray color. In the top left corner, a block of vertical text is visible, accompanied by two rectangular red seals. Another block of vertical text appears mid-left. The base of the plant features dark, indistinct shapes, possibly rocks or earth, with subtle hints of green.
