Detailed Description
A light brown, fan-shaped surface features a bird perched on a branch with fruit and leaves. The bird is positioned slightly above the center, facing right. It has a dark gray head, a bright red chest, and a white belly. Its back and tail are dark gray. The bird is perched on a slender, dark branch that extends from the upper right towards the lower left. Numerous dark green leaves of various sizes grow from the branches, some overlapping. Several round, reddish-purple fruits with textured surfaces hang from the branches, primarily in the lower left and upper right. There are also smaller, spiky, greenish-yellow fruits visible in the upper right and lower left. Vertical lines of dark script are present on the left side of the fan shape, starting from the upper left curve and extending downwards. Another, shorter vertical strip of dark script is visible on a light brown rectangular piece attached to the upper right edge of the fan. At the bottom center, a red seal impression is visible, accompanied by some dark, calligraphic marks. The background of the fan is a uniform, light brown color.
