Six-panel screen with a painting of birds on a beige background. The background is lighter at the top and fades to darker toward the bottom. The panels are separated by thin black lines. A thin blue border surrounds the screen. The birds are painted in black ink and appear to be flying or standing. There are approximately 40 birds in total. The birds are depicted in various poses, some with wings spread and others with wings folded. Birds are more densely grouped on the right side of the screen. The birds on the bottom right appear to be standing on the ground.
