Detailed Description
Three vertical panels are displayed side-by-side, each featuring flora and fauna against a light brown background. Each panel is bordered by a dark blue band with small gold patterns, followed by a wider brown frame with a subtle textured pattern. The left panel shows a dragonfly with translucent wings hovering near the top. Below, large red and white peony-like flowers with green leaves and stems rise from the bottom. Thin green blades of grass extend upwards. At the bottom right, a small body of water contains a green lily pad and a small dark creature. The center panel features a small bird with light brown and white plumage flying downwards from the top. Below, a tall plant with rounded green leaves and small white flowers grows upwards. At the base of this plant, a cluster of orange-red flowers with thin green leaves is visible. The right panel depicts a gnarled, dark brown tree branch with delicate light pink blossoms extending across the upper and middle sections. Two small birds with reddish-brown and white markings perch on the branch. Behind the branch, green bamboo shoots rise from a small dark mound at the bottom.
