This is a drawing of a stylized bird design on a pottery piece. The drawing features a bird depicted in a flowing, curvilinear style with prominent use of deep blue hues against a gray background. The bird's form is abstract with a mix of sharp and soft contours. The inscription "WEST TROY POTTERRY" is prominently placed at the top, alongside a number 4. The drawing conveys a simplistic yet expressive form commonly found in traditional pottery decoration.
