Here is a description of the image:

The image appears to be a stencil or a cut-out design on a brown, textured material, possibly paper or a thin board. The overall design is rectangular and framed by a solid brown border.

Within the rectangular area, there are vertical parallel lines running from top to bottom, closely spaced together. Superimposed on these lines is a pattern that suggests a scene with clouds, branches, and birds. The cut-out areas are white, allowing the background to show through.

There are three birds depicted, each with outstretched wings as if in flight. Delicate lines represent branches or vines that curve across the scene, connecting the birds and clouds. The clouds themselves have irregular shapes and are positioned at different heights, creating a sense of depth.
