Visual Summary

Brief Description

A light-colored, spotted, worm-like creature with an ornate head on a bright yellow background

Detailed Description

The artwork depicts a light-colored, elongated, worm-like or snake-like creature positioned centrally on a rectangular field of bright yellow. The creature's body is a pale off-white or light gray, outlined in black, and covered with numerous small, circular red spots distributed along its length. It is arranged in a wavy, S-shaped curve, with its head facing towards the upper left. The head is more detailed and ornate than the body, featuring an open mouth with visible teeth-like markings and a long, thin, red, forked tongue-like protrusion extending upwards. The head also has swirling black lines and additional red spots. The creature's body appears segmented or ridged along its sides. The yellow background occupies the majority of the image, bordered on the left and right by unpainted, aged, light brown paper. In the upper left corner of the yellow field, there are two lines of black text in a non-Latin script. Another single character in the same script is visible in the top-left unpainted margin. The paper itself shows signs of age, with slightly uneven and worn edges.
