Visual Description
Within an oval frame a sunlit landscape shows seven stylized wands arranged vertically throughout the scene. A snarling canine stands on rocky ledge at left, lunging toward a large bird-like creature on the right with a curved beak and ruffled plumage. The background features a large glowing sun, layered rock formations, sparse plants and a small pool of water near the foreground. The wands carry ornate circular motifs near their tops and are spread at different depths across the image, creating a sense of vertical repetition.
