Brief Description
Several small, brown-speckled birds among tall green plants with white flowers on a brown background
Detailed Description
A central brown panel is framed by decorative borders. The top and bottom borders are dark green with a lighter green scroll pattern, while the side borders are a faded light green-blue. The central panel has a faded brown background. In the upper left, a single bird with brown and white speckled feathers is in flight, wings spread, with its head pointing downwards and to the right. Below it, several tall green plants with slender leaves and elongated, fluffy white flower heads rise from the bottom of the panel. Two smaller, brown-speckled birds are perched among these plants; one on the left is partially obscured by a white flower, facing right, and another on the right is perched on a green leaf, facing left. On the ground at the bottom of the panel, five more small, brown-speckled birds are depicted. One on the far left is pecking at the ground. To its right, another stands upright. Three more are clustered on the right side, with one facing left and two facing right. Small green plant clusters are scattered on the ground among these birds. The birds vary slightly in size and posture against the plain background.
