Three stylized blue flowers with brown centers on a vine connect the two mandalas. Two stylized birds with long curved beaks and spotted bodies, one on the bottom left and one on the bottom right. Two more partial birds are visible at the bottom. A floral design in green and blue is positioned below the blue flowers and above the bottom birds. A piece by the artist.
