Visual Summary

Brief Description

A tree with red clusters, a small bird, and straw bundles on a light background

Detailed Description

A vertical composition, framed by a gold border, features a central tree with a small bird and straw bundles below, set against a light beige background. The tree has a dark brown trunk and numerous thin, reddish-brown branches that spread upwards and outwards. Small, round red clusters, resembling berries or blossoms, are scattered across the branches. A small, dark bird perches on an upper branch towards the right side of the tree. Below the tree, a horizontal bar extends from the main trunk, supporting three light brown, bell-shaped straw bundles with fringed bottoms. To the left of these, two larger, tiered straw bundles are depicted, each with three layers of ruffled, fan-like shapes, also in light brown. A small red seal or mark is visible on the lower left, near the base of the leftmost straw bundles.
