Birds Snakes and Insects

Description for blind and low-vision visitors

A horizontal painting on a golden-yellow ground patterned with faint wavy bands. On the left a large bird with a blue-and-green scaled breast and a striped multicolored body perches on a brown branch that runs across the lower portion. From its body rises a long pale neck topped by a fanged crocodilian head at the upper left. To the right, a long sinuous serpent with a red crested head winds across the center and curls into a large rounded shape filled with feathery red, blue and green markings in the upper right. Smaller crested bird-heads and a flying creature appear in the upper center and upper right. A green pine-like sprig grows from the branch at center, and small red blossoms dot the branch and lower corners. The lower edge carries bands of orange, brown and yellow stripes.
