A hanging scroll depicts a pheasant standing atop a textured gray rock. The bird features a black neck and vibrant red eye patch, its beak open and pointed skyward. Soft brown and gray feathers with reddish patterns transition into a long, banded tail. Small blue flowers bloom around the rock's base. To the lower left, vertical black calligraphy and a square red seal mark the silk background.
