Visual Summary

Brief Description

A grasshopper on a vine, a white flower, and two green gourds on a light background

Detailed Description

A light brown grasshopper is positioned centrally on a dark green vine against a plain, light beige background. The grasshopper faces left, its segmented body and folded wings detailed in shades of tan and brown, with delicate antennae extending forward. It clings to the main stem of the vine, which curves from the upper-left, descending and then curving upwards towards the upper-right. Numerous slender tendrils and small, dark green leaves sprout from the vine. A single white flower with a yellow center blooms from the vine in the upper central area, just above the grasshopper. Two large, elongated green gourds are partially visible. One gourd hangs vertically from the top edge on the left side, while the other extends downwards from the top edge on the right side. Both gourds are a deep, uniform green. In the bottom right corner, vertical black calligraphic text is visible, followed by a red square seal.
