This black image on yellow paper shows leaves and berries on a branch, with a red stamp in the bottom left corner

This black and white image on yellow paper shows four clusters of leaves and two clusters of small,oval berries along a branch. There is a red stamp of a tripod in the bottom left corner. The branch extends horizontally from the top left corner to the top right corner and is obscured heavily by the leaf clusters. The four leaf clusters are in the top left, top center and top right of the image as well as the center. The berries are in the top left corner and top center of the image. The red tripod stamp has two legs facing forward, has two squared horn shapes coming from the body, and a whisp of smoke coming from the top.
