Image shows Old Abe perched on his stand consisting of a patriotic shield of red & white stripes with a blue field and white stars. Abe’s wings are down giving his body a brown appearance with white tail feathers peeking out underneath. The bird has his white head turned and is looking defiantly over his right shoulder.
