Detailed Description
A circular image depicts a greenish-brown frog and various flowering plants on a light, plain background. A frog with prominent yellow eyes is positioned in the lower-center, its limbs outstretched. A thin red string is tied around its right hind leg. To the left, a dark branch extends horizontally, bearing several red flowers with multiple petals and dark centers, along with smaller yellow buds and green leaves. In the upper right, a cluster of blue and purple flowers with long, slender green leaves emerges from a light-colored, textured form, possibly a rock or root. The blue flowers are larger and more open, while the purple ones are smaller and more tightly clustered. In the upper left quadrant, vertical black calligraphy is present, reading '忘苑華八八字 憶老八子祥張', accompanied by two red square seals. The background is a uniform, light beige color.
