Black and white image of two long narrow panels side by side. Panels are rectangular and vertical. Panels have a white background with a design that runs the length of each panel. The designs on both panels are similar and contain birds, flowers, leaves, and stems. The design on the left panel starts with a bird on a branch at the top, then flowers and leaves and another bird on the bottom. The design on the right panel starts with a bird in flight at the top, then flowers and leaves and another bird on a branch at the bottom. There are two lines of black handwritten text at the bottom. The background of the image appears to be a piece of paper or fabric with creases and folds visible. There is a vertical seam or tear in the middle. The artwork is by Sleeve Band.
