The painting depicts a flying fox (Apokibi) in an abstract and schematical form. The four black pointed ovals outlined in white arranged in a column in the centre of the design are different representations of the flying fox’s trunk or torso. The red and yellow triangular forms outlined in white on two sides of the of the bark represent its outspread wings. The small hook forms inside each of the black roundels on the outer edges of the designs depict the powerful claws (the tips of greatly elongated fingers) that proturde from the leading edge of the mammal’s membranous wings.
