Description for blind and low-vision visitors
A horizontal painting filled with several elongated bird figures over a warm yellow and orange ground. At the center stands a large bird with a rounded body marked by a row of orange crescent scales and a spotted teal border, balanced on thin legs. To its right a second bird with a patterned blue and purple body and a tall red crest faces right, with a small green sprig of foliage between them. At the upper left a peacock-like bird with a long combed tail flies downward, and a smaller red and teal bird with radiating tail feathers perches at the far left. A small crested bird appears at the upper right. The surrounding background is streaked with combed bands of pink, blue, orange and cream.
