Description for blind and low-vision visitors
A horizontal painting on a ground of loose diagonal strokes, orange and yellow above, pale blue and pink below. A single large creature fills the canvas. Its body is a mosaic of patterned panels: a brown disc at the upper right ringed with teardrops around a white and red eye, a pale blue field of blue hearts, a magenta panel with a four-petalled flower, an orange band of soft brushwork, and a patch of golden beads. Broad fins in green, blue and red striations spread from the top, the bottom and the left, and a tall crest of orange and black stripes rises along the left edge. At the right, jaws lined with black and pink teeth open on a dark spotted neck that extends outward and ends in a small red head with two round yellow eyes.
