Detailed Description
A fan-shaped artwork features a textured gold background. In the lower right quadrant, a bird with a dark head, white chest, and reddish-brown wings and tail perches on a thick, gnarled branch. The branch, appearing to be made of a light, silvery-gray material with visible wood grain, extends from the lower left to the right. To the left of the bird, large, undulating white forms with green undersides or outlines rise from the branch, resembling leaves or plants. Small clusters of red berries or fruits are visible among the green and white elements on the branch. Faint, delicate branch-like patterns are etched into the gold background around the bird.
