DescriptionA drawing, loosely rendered in black ink on wrinkled, metallic gold paper. In the center of the image, a bird stand on the back of a fish. Inside both animals' stomachs are several stick figures, and the bird is shown eating another stick figure. On the bird's back is a stick figure doing a handstand to the left of a four-legged animal with horns. In the upper center of the image is a half-circle filled with stick figures, divided into two groups by vertically stacked horizontal lines. In the lower left corner are two loosely drawn figures floating above a bird with a long beak.
