The artwork

The front label features a classical heraldic crest in brown and cream, centered within an ornate frame; the crest displays a barn building at its base, crowned by a domed agricultural structure, flanked by leafy botanical ornaments and seated lions in a symmetrical arrangement. A hanging tag illustrated in pen-and-ink lines the architectural elements in black against cream, anchored by rope. The back panel presents a second barn structure rendered in fine line-work, positioned beside a large rust circle, on a gridded cream field with hand-lettered script text. The palette throughout is oxblood, cream, and black on kraft brown stock.
