The design includes two red bands, one thicker than the other, separated by a thin yellow band. Inside the red bands, there are red plant-like shapes on either side. In the center of the design, a bird is perched on a yellow branch, surrounded by flowers and leaves in various colors including red, blue, green, and yellow. The background of the image is a gradient that transitions from dark gray at the top to white at the bottom. The tumbler is titled "Tumbler" and attributed to artist "Unknown".
