Full original description
It depicts two kalaos ssubidos enciam of a child lying face up. Kalao is a mythical bird of Ivory Coast, particularly of the snupho in the North. Kalao is a symbol of good luck, unfortunately in the process of extinction. Being in front of each other means love and symbolizes happiness between two beings, possibly by the birth of the child upon which they have fallen.
