Visual Description

A lone figure seen from behind stands on a shoreline, draped in a brown robe with a checkered sash, holding one of three tall wooden staves planted in the ground. The other two staves rise on either side, each with small leaves near the tops. The person gazes across a choppy sea dotted with several small sailing ships toward a large pale disc in the sky; the Roman numeral III appears just above that disc. Along the bottom edge there is Cyrillic writing and a small watermark reading TAROSHOP.RU.
