On a brown background with beige stripes, the shadow of a gray hand is depicted in a position that creates a donkey head in profile turned towards the left side of the picture. A black contour on its neck and ears creates a shadow effect. The donkey's mouth is open and has beige teeth and a red tongue within it. Hebrew block letters are written on cardboard cut-outs and stuck to the picture. The letters combine together tp form the word: חידה On the upper right corner is written the Hebrew letter: ח The donkey's eye is represented by the letter: י On the background, between the donkey's ears and nose is the letter: ד Written on the paper, beneath his teeth and tongue is written the cursive beige letter: ה
