Birds and Snake

Description for blind and low-vision visitors

A horizontal painting centered on a large bird with a soft mottled pastel body in pink, green and blue and a long curving neck, standing on thin legs at the center over a deep orange ground. Its head bears a crest of fine striped plumes. Around it, smaller birds populate the corners: a speckled bird perches at the upper left, another stands on a curling snake-like branch at the upper right, and a small spotted bird stands at the lower left. Dark serpentine branches studded with beadlike dots curl up from the lower left and right corners, and a dark vessel or pot sits at the lower center. Stylized orange feather and leaf forms fill the lower edges. A small signature appears at the lower center.
