Description for blind and low-vision visitors
A horizontal painting built around two large symmetrical birds with long curving necks that meet at the center, their open beaks facing a tall upright form rising from the lower center. The left bird has a rounded body filled with flame-like orange and brown patterning and a green plumed tail; the right bird's body is a large pale oval banded with pink, green and red wavy stripes. Between them a green and red striped stalk rises vertically with thin orange limbs branching outward and a small spiky crown at the top. Small birds in red, blue and brown fly in each of the upper corners and along the right edge. The background is a pale cream wash with soft yellow at the lower corners.
