Birds and Snake

Description for blind and low-vision visitors

A horizontal painting set against a streaked orange and red ground worked in fine flame-like hatching. At left two large pale long-necked birds with speckled white bodies stand close together, their slender necks and pointed beaks raised; a third small white bird stands below them at the lower left. A long wavy serpent snakes vertically through the center of the composition. At the right a tall brown segmented tree trunk rises, with a red bird perched on a horizontal limb to its left and another small bird at the upper right. To the right of the trunk hang clusters of fine drooping lines and small star-like flowers in red. A dark gourd or pot shape sits at the lower center near the base of the trunk.
