Surrounding the bird is a border with botanical elements and script. The color palette features browns, greens, and a hint of yellow. The design is traditional and detailed, possibly influenced by historical or cultural art styles. The outer rim includes more script and decorative elements in a symmetrical design. The style of the artwork appears to be folk or traditional craftsmanship.
