Detailed Description
The artwork is a vertical rectangular composition featuring a rooster perched on a drum against a dark, textured background. The background is a mottled, dark gray or silver, with lighter flecks and darker streaks. A large, cylindrical drum occupies the lower half of the image, angled slightly upwards from left to right. Its main body is an orange-brown. The visible end of the drum is black, featuring a gold, three-part swirling design. This black end is bordered by a ring of small, light gray or silver dots. The rooster is positioned on the top surface of the drum, facing towards the left side of the frame. It has a bright red comb and wattle. Its body feathers are a blend of orange and light brown, with some black feathers visible on its underside. The rooster's long, fanned tail feathers are black, extending upwards and to the right. Its slender legs and feet are depicted as light brown lines on the drum's surface. A small, square red seal is visible in the lower right corner of the dark background.
