A horizontally oriented woodcut on textured cream paper depicts a bird facing left. Its black body is densely patterned with white hatch marks, dots, and crescents. To the lower left and upper right, dark branches bear segmented fruit. Near the right edge sits a small red seal, and handwritten pencil text and a date appear along the bottom margin.
