Visual Summary

Brief Description

Blue bird-headed creature, human arm with red flower, animal legs, and a snake tail

Detailed Description

A watercolor painting on a light, off-white background depicts a composite mythical creature standing in profile, facing left. The creature's head is that of a blue bird, resembling a peacock or rooster, with a red crest, a white eye with a black pupil, and a red beak. Its long, curved neck is also blue and adorned with a gold necklace featuring dangling leaf-shaped pendants. The front-most leg is a light brown human arm, bent at the elbow, with a gold bracelet on the wrist. The hand holds a detailed red flower with green leaves. The second front leg is a greyish-brown elephant leg. The creature's main body is light grey, with a prominent red hump on its back. A string of black beads hangs from the hump. The rear-most leg is a pinkish-brown horse or deer leg with a dark hoof. The leg in front of it is a tiger's leg, featuring black stripes on a tan background. A long, curved, red snake-like tail with white markings extends upwards and then curls down behind the creature. Below the creature's body, in the lower left, is text in a non-Latin script that reads 'नवकुंजर'.
