A rat looks toward dark, textured fruits hanging from a branch against a muted gold background
Detailed Description
A rat is positioned in the lower left quadrant, looking toward a cluster of dark, textured fruits hanging from a branch in the lower right. The rat has dark, possibly grey-brown fur, a long, thin tail extending behind it, and small, pointed ears. Its body is slightly hunched as it appears to approach the fruit. The fruits are roundish, dark brown or black, and covered in small, raised bumps, resembling lychees or similar textured fruit. They hang in a cluster of three from a thin, gnarled branch that extends from the upper center. A few reddish-brown leaves are visible on the branch above the fruit. The background is a muted, warm gold or light brown, showing a slightly textured surface. On the far right, a vertical strip of lighter, cream-colored paper contains several lines of black vertical text and a small, circular red seal near the bottom of the strip.
