A framed poster print of two birds in the upper half, brick red and Royal blue, their outstretched wings drawn to look like the fingers of a hand. Below are representations of two figures their bodies looking like hands, each with two legs and feet plus a head and face protruding from he 'hand' body. The artwork was by Jessie Oonark, a Canadian Inuit and the poster was produced by the Canadian Museum of Civilization.

Difficult to photograph under glass in a restaurant but this print by Canadian Inuk artist Jessie Oonark (1906-1985) was worth viewing and to learn more about the artist. This commercial poster is of her original 1984 artwork "My Hands Are Like Birds".
