Detailed Description
The image depicts a large, dark bird of prey attacking a smaller, lighter-colored bird against a plain, light brown background. The large bird, positioned in the upper left and extending towards the lower right, has dark brown and black feathers with lighter brown undersides. Its wings are spread, and its tail feathers are fanned out. It has bright yellow eyes with dark pupils and a sharp, dark beak. Its talons are engaged with the smaller bird. The smaller bird, positioned below and slightly to the right of the larger bird, is lighter brown with intricate patterns of black and white on its feathers, and a yellow head. Its wings are also spread, and its beak is open. Several small, light-colored feathers are scattered in the air around the two birds, particularly below them. In the upper left corner of the light brown background, there is a vertical column of dark characters and a red square seal with more characters. In the lower left corner, there is a small, dark inscription that reads "29/00.0344". The central image is framed by a wide border of speckled gold.
