The goldfinch is one of the happiest birds, with vivid color and a lovely song. This one is perched on a thistle flower, the favorite food of the species, and the design is balanced by placing beneath it the sacred Tibetan eternal knot. The knot is shown repeating the ultraviolet purple color of the thistle, complementing well the light greens of the foliage and the golden yellow of the bird.
