Two red birds with black wings and tails are depicted flying near the rocks. The birds are positioned on the right side of the painting, with one above the other. The top bird faces left, while the bottom bird faces right and holds an object in its beak. A vertical line of Asian script is visible on the left side of the gold section, with the top portion in black and the bottom in red.
