The image, titled "Dish," by an unknown artist. The dish is white with a raised edge. A black design on the dish features a group of 13 birds flying in a V-formation from the bottom left to the top right. The birds are depicted in various positions, with some appearing to be in mid-flight. At the bottom of the dish, there is a black design that resembles a bundle of sticks or twigs. The dish casts a shadow on a light-colored surface, and the background is a plain gray wall.
