Two large wooden sculptures of roosters are shown in the image. The color palette is mainly natural wood tones with light brown shading to accentuate the texture of the wood grain. The top rooster is facing to the right and positioned slightly higher in the frame, while the bottom rooster is also facing to the right and placed towards the left. Both roosters have detailed carvings that highlight feather and body features.
