Curatorial comment:
The bird stands by a body of water. In the background is a landscape with a temple with tower or gopuram in the distance, and on the far bank a few palm trees, and two men walking, one man carrying a large, possibly copper, pot on his head; behind him, a man carrying two earthenware (?) pots suspended in holders from a pole over one shoulder. | Un oiseau se tient près d’un plan d’eau. À l'arrière-plan, temple et tour (ou gopura) et, sur la rive éloignée quelques palmiers, deux hommes qui marchent, un porte sur la tête un grand vase, possiblement en cuivre; derrière lui, un homme transporte sur l’épaule une perche où des supports retiennent deux pots en terre cuite (?).
