The design features a large, bold, stylized number "9" as a central element, which is superimposed over a textured background. Diagonally crossing the poster, there is text in German that reads "METALLISCHES FEST," which translates to "Metallic Festival," and below it, "BAUHAUS-FASCHING," meaning "Bauhaus Carnival."

The poster also lists "GLOCKEN, SCHELLEN, KLINGEL FEST," suggesting elements such as bells and chimes featured in the event. The date "9 FEBR. 1929" is prominently displayed, indicating that the event took place on February 9, 1929. The names "IN DESSAU" and "IN BAUHAUS" are mentioned, pointing to the location at the Bauhaus School in Dessau, Germany.

This image features what appears to be an old, distressed invitation or poster for an event associated with Bauhaus, the famous design school. The main graphic element is a large numeral "9" in a bold, sans-serif type, which is centrally placed and takes up most of the space. Around the "9", there is text in various directions.

The text "BAUHAUS-FASCHING" is placed vertically to the left of the number "9," suggesting that the event is a carnival or festive celebration linked to the Bauhaus school. A diagonal banner cuts across the number with the words "METALLISCHES FEST" with smaller texts along its length saying "GLOCKEN * SCHELLEN * KLINGEL * FEST," which translates from German as "Bells * Jingles * Ringing * Festival."

In the lower right corner, a date is printed: "9. FEBR. 1929," indicating when this event was scheduled to take place. The style of the design, the typography, and the materials used for the poster reflect the aesthetics of the Bauhaus movement, which was known for its simplicity, geometric shapes, and functionalist design during the early 20th century.

The background texture, color fading, and evident creases and damage to the material suggest it is a historical document that has aged over time.
