Lino print in two shades of grey-blue. It shows a carved stone arch of a church doorway. The arch is formed of concentric bands of decoration.

The beaks and beards point into the centre of the arch. This artwork is based on a real example: St Mary at Birkin, North Yorkshire but has the fanciful addition of a full bird flying in to take its place on the arch.
