Description for blind and low-vision visitors
A single ornate fantastical bird stands against a deep black background. It has a long curved open beak, a round green eye, and a head decorated with rows of concentric circular eye-spot patterns in blue, red and orange. The body unfurls in richly layered scalloped feathers of orange, red, yellow, green and blue, with a tall curving plume above and long curling tail and toe feathers ending in spirals at the bottom. Fine hatched lines radiate across the black field, and red and green flame-shaped leaves rise along the sides in the dense, decorative naïve folk style.
