Leaves are various shades of gold, brown, and black. A long, curved, light-colored object resembling a ribbon or fabric is above the birds on the right section. The object has a pattern of small dots. The sections have visible lines dividing them into multiple panels. The edges are worn and faded, with some chipped areas.
