Irene M. Burge

National Gallery of Art

The image contains a complex arrangement of symmetrical shapes and lines focused on a large circular form. The abstract design is detailed with a textured pattern resembling a mix of scalloped edges and radiating lines. Surrounding the central circle are bird-like figures stylized with angular wings and pointed beaks, oriented outward creating a star-like formation.
