Yellow bird-like creature with large dark blue wings, wearing a red cloth around its lower body. The creature has a large beak and is kneeling on one leg. Two male figures with dark hair and Indian-style headdresses sit on the creature's back. The figure on the left has light blue skin and wears a gray top; he holds an object in his right hand. The figure on the right has dark blue skin, a blue and gold necklace, and a flute; he holds a stick in his left hand. Both figures have peacock feather-like adornments above their heads. The background is a faded tan color with darker spots and lines.
