Surreal image of a featherless, footless, and headless duck is in the center of the composition. There are a cluster of Edison light bulbs in the top right corner and they are plugged into electric plugs on the ducks back. Below the duck is a tangle of wires that seem to be flowing out of the duck's ankles. The wires end at font that reads "Duck" and "Ra". Text in the upper left corner reads " Ramses III"
