Bird
2000

A colorful drawing featuring a large, stylized figure with a black face and a vibrant, multicolored headdress made of lines and dots. The figure has a curved, black body standing on two stick-like legs. To the right, there are three smaller figures: a creature with a headdress and an open mouth showing teeth, a cat-like figure, and a simple human form. In the background, there's a faint sketch of a bird and a snake facing a cup. The artist's name and the year 2000 are inscribed at the top left.
