This is a painting of a stylized, double-headed bird design on a circular plate. The design features two bird heads emerging from a single body, each head adorned with embellished details such as lines and dots in green and red hues. The wings of the bird are depicted with layered feathers extending horizontally. On either side of the bird's body, there are small leaf-like motifs. The artwork is rendered in muted tones of brown, green, and purple, with a border that echoes the circular shape of the plate.
